- I am looking for assistance with creating a text Window using BIOS calls.
- Basically, I want to display a status line at the top of the screen, and have
- whatever text is below this display as normal and never wipe out the top
- status line.
-
- As I understand it, I could trap INT 29 and make a routine to handle some of
- the above. Does anyone have information or code (in C or assembly) regarding
- this?
-
- This is on a 286 system running DOS 5.0.
- Any assistance would be appreciated.
- Mark
