Hi Josh,

Not too much is needed: save all registers you use, make sure you do the sti
before the iret. If you want to use code/dataspace from your code,
you must set up the selectors right:  Set ds = [__djgpp_ds_alias].
You ought to check if you are already in the handler, if your code is
non-rentrant and uses the stack (DPMI stack for interrupts has a limited size).

DPMI switches stack for you, and the int saves EFLAGS. 

The code to read is in djpsrc200/src/libc/go32/gopint.c
It's also in my variant of lwp on my web page in sengan/gopint.

Sengan
