- : I'm trying to port some piece of C code to linux/unix.
- : This code contains statement in assembler.
-
- : 1. How can I compile it under linux with gcc or gas ?
-
- I have no idea.
-
- : 2. Will this be portable ?
-
- Only to other DOS machines.

- If you're running X-Windows on an x86, you don't want to use BIOS to
- clear the screen; and if it's called BIOS on a Sparc, it is a very
- different (though forthright) BIOS.
-
- Although the concept is portable, no implementation is, so you'll have
- to do something specific for the system and display. For example, if
- you're doing X-Windows, you can clear a window with X calls, or with
- curses if it xwsh, or something of that ilk. On a Mac, you set up the
- clipping region and fill it. On a glass tty, you can you curses or look
- up the terminal clear screen code (or send a few dozen new lines).
