- I am using Turbo Pascal 6.0 Professional on a 486 IBM compatible.
- Could someone please send me a breakdown of the internal arrangement of bytes
- in the variable types: single, real, double, extended, comp ?
- I need to know specifically the bytes in each type that contain the exponent,
- where the zero through 9.999999999 real part is located, etc.
- I would also like to have a list of software and hardware interrupts, what they
- do, what sets them off, what their default interrupt procedures do, what they
- use as input and output, etc. Mainly I am interested in accessing the clock
- tick and keyboard interrupts, but I'd like to know what the other ones do,
- also. Thank you, any who may respond.
