Hello,

I've got the next problem.
I want to use background printing in my C-program. They have told me
that you can chain the printroutine witk the keyboardinterrupt, so you get
50 interrupts per second instead of 18,2 when you use the timerinterrupt. 
But how am i going to read the data, which has to be printed, out of the file in the interrupt? Because msdos is not reentrant you can't use the dos-functions 
to do it (so you can't use the library functions)

Please help me.

You can e-mail me, my address is hg8@unix.brighton.ac.uk
