- HI!
-
- I have a very urgent request for help concerning Microsoft C/
- Quick C, Ms-Dos and INT 24 Failures.
-
- Working for BT I have come across a need to write a database system with
- a fair degree of disk access. However, I need either a method of
- formatting the stderr stream or a method of replacing the INT 24 vector
- with one of my own.
-
- I'd prefer a vector redirection based solution, but I cannot for the life of me
- get the program to work as it should (it compiles..)
-
- At present I am (have tried) copying the old interrupt vector
- so it can be restored later , then substituting my own vector address
- pointing to a simple routine that simple returns, maybe printing an error
- message first.
-
- Even compiling without the stack checking (as required in the Turbo C
- environment) the program seems to either ignore my interrupt vector
- completely, or executes my routine then freezes.
-
- All I need is something that will return a value of zero somehow without
- the humungous error messages that usually occur, and without the
- press so and so to continue or abort etc...
-
- If ya can help email me as soon as you can...This database has to be finished
- soon. Ack. You could say the critical errror handler has gone critical.
-
- Many thanks,
-
- Ian Coggins,
- Comp systems Engineer.
