- Hello,
-
- does anybody know how to program an interrupt under Windows (3.1)?
- Or any other way to really stop execution until the last statement
- (in C) has finished?
-
- The problem is: We want to write a driver for an external device,
- (a laser video player -- Bildplattenspieler in German). We can
- write to it, but when we want to read (a character), Windows
- doesn't wait for any character to come back; it immediately
- continues with the next statement. Under DOS without windows,
- we did this with an interrupt and it worked, but Windows obviously
- has masked the interrupt somehow.
-
- Does anybody know a solution?
-
- Thanks
