COFF, ELF, PE ?? Now I'm wondering what a plain old OBJ is, why there's a difference between a Win32 OBJ and others. How does anyone learn this stuff in the first place? I thought I was doing okay when the DPMI light went on, now I need more. Dave P.S. I tried to reproduce a DPMI call (segment_to_selector) by preparing my own NASM function, based on the wrapper source. Worked fine in DJGPP. Took the same module with the int 33h call and assembled to WIN32 (OBJ) and linked with MSVC(either 4.2 or 5.0, I forget) compiled fine, but execution locked up the machine with a black screen (really scarry). Am I bumping into something new? -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
