As Alex said interrupts are a pain (any form of multi-tasking is) but
you can always have the compiler generate assembler to read and check.
If you can't read 8086 code and/or don't know what the hardware does you
shouldn't be trying to write interrupt handlers.

>Yes, I am another borland fan :-)

Me too (and so is my fully interrupt driven, buffered, handshaking,
with up calls to other routines serial port driver, all written in
Wizard/Turbo/Borland C).
