- This is not about the C language, but about MS-DOS programming.
- Fortunately, there's a comp.os.msdos.programmer newsgroup for just such
- topics as this.

- But don't post your question there, because it's answered in the
- comp.os.msdos.programmer FAQ; see Q704.

- If you can't find the FAQ, send me email >>> with a valid reply-to

- retrieve many FAQ lists.
