- These questions are quite system and compiler specific. You need to ask
- them in a group dedicated to your system and/or compiler.

- comp.os.msdos.programmer
- alt.sb.programmer
- comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.video
- etc.

- You might want to ftp (anonymous) to rtfm.mit.edu /pub/usenet-by-heirarchy
- and browse through the available faq (Frequently Asked Question) lists for
- the various groups. You could also ftp to a SimTel mirror (eg,
- oak.oakland.edu \SimTel) and look around in the /msdos/c directory. You
- may find some working source files there to analyze.
