Hello,

Many people right now are trying OS writing as a hobbie.
I have been gathering info on the machanincs of doing so.
Someone had told me about GCC/DJGPP and NASM, as a tool set to use
for a project like this.

The QUESTION is: 
What MAKE options do I use to make it a loadable image.
What is the minamal pmode setting are needed to load it.
What function are IN djgpp, and what are OS calls.

We have Written 16/32bit OSs in TASM, DASM, but are looking for a 
C + ASM  tool set.  We are aware that you cant call an INT 21h or
such if you have not written/loaded it.

Any pointers to info, or free/share ware tools will be apprecated.

P.S. on comp.lang.asm.x86 & comp.os.misc  we have discutions on this
     with OSDVL OSDEV, in the topic.  And are trying to start a new
     news group  comp.os.developement  dedicated to the 'machanics'
     of writting OS.  If you are interested please lurk/post and 
     join in the RFD on staring it on news.groups
