There are billions of winsock tutorials out there... my advice is to search for +win32 +"winsock tutorial" on google. When I designed a simple chat program I did it by barely modifying a skeleton client/server example that was already out there. (No, this was not a school project...

Ok, I feel like an idiot... I knew that, but I guess I didn't really think ;-) Ad, you are quite right... 09 is the same as 09h... wow I feel like a tard :-) -------- It is an honor to recieve an honest reply. (Prov 24:26)

It's been a long time since I've done ASM programming in dos, but is the interrupt you're looking for 09, or 09h? You could try that. -------- It is an honor to recieve an honest reply. (Prov 24:26)

Your problem is that you forgot to null-terminate the string. change the line: message db "HelloWorld!$" to: message db "HelloWorld!",0 ...and you should be fine. -------- It is an honor to recieve an honest reply. (Prov 24:26)

Lionelhill's probably right: you'd probably best post your code for quickest response. -------- It is an honor to recieve an honest reply. (Prov 24:26)

You could do this if you wrote a program that used your modem. Many modems support more than just data connections, you know. So I suppose you'd have to have the RIGHT modem for the job, but if you did it'd be pretty simple to write a program that would play a recording over the phone line...

I'd personally recommend ClarkConnect... It's made to be a firewall/router distro, but it doesn't have to be. The web administration for it is INCREDIBLE. It'll let you access the ssh on the box with any browser on a computer with a JVM, update your packages, administrate e-mail/web server...

Your program needs to send a command over the network? If you're using tcp/ip (internet protocol) and windows (I remember you were talking about win32 assembler) then you should check out the winsock api. The standard winsock documentation was enough info for me to make a small encrypted chat...

There are tools out there (NTFSDOS comes to mind) that will let you modify an ntfs partition from dos, but they may be read-only... not sure. At any rate, you'll need to find the registry files which (as adholioshake mentioned) are different for different versions of windows. If you can boot...

I absolutely LOVE Crimson editor, but I don't think it'll highlight errors :-(. It does great at everything else a programmer needs, though, including backups. I use it for all my php, vhdl, and assembler. -------- It is an honor to recieve an honest reply. (Prov 24:26)

I know that if you use VESA there's an interrupt you can call to get the base address for the SVGA memory... last I remember, though, I tried it out when I was doing dos 32bit protected mode assembler, and found that the memory mapping scheme for even a simple 800x600 16bit was DIFFICULT to work...

I wrote up some sample code to try a few things out... it seems to work fine for me. The following code compiles just fine: --Declare all your libraries, etc-- --SmallerItem is the item you will instantiate as a component. --In this case I just used 3 downto 0 as its size. entity SmallerItem...
