c++.dos.16-bits - Getting Error Compiling 16-Bit Dos Source Code
This very minimalist example: http://pastebin.com/T2u7tWve is producing the error: C:\DosProject>c:\dm\bin\dmc c:\DosProject\main.c c:\DosProject\video.c c:\DosProject\main.c: c:\DosProject\video.c: int 10h // Use Bios to set video mode ^ c:\DosProject\video.c(6) : Warning 13: Illegal type/size of operands for the mov instruction link main+video,,,user32+kernel32/noi; C:\DosProject>pause Press any key to continue . . . whats weird is this code is coming from straight from an example(chapter 2, page 26) from the book Tricks of The Game Programming Guru which is a book for programming dos games and is very highly revered. Judging from the user32 & kernal32 i'm guessing it's trying to make a win32. I already installed the Dos 16 add on, how do i force dm to compile a dos 16 true mode app? Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Dos Idle

Dos IdleIf you have the full DM C++ package including the IDE, there's a tutorial online. http://www.digitalmars.com/ugr/chapter10.html The important parameter for the command-line compiler is the memory model setting. To make a simple program that can use up to 640K of DOS memory, use "-mld" as a command-line parameter. http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/sc.html#switch_mn
