Borland C++
-
I have a small program that is written on Borland C++ 3.1, it worked probarly on Win98 but now I need to reuse this program on WinXP, howerver there is an error when i use it on WinXp. Any body know to convert this program into Win32 application. What is bios.h header file. Could I rewrite a new application and then aopy these code again?

The problem is that functions defined in the ‘bios.h’ (equivalent to MS ‘dos.h’) header file are used to access low level bios functionality (indirect assembly code). In other words, it is designed to talk to the computer at the bios (or machine) level. These functions usually need to be replaced with equivalent Win32 functions that you may need to write yourself. I know that there is a [free] driver on the Net that allows you to access this level (ring 0), because I have used it, but I do not remember what it is called.

Well yes and no, in either case you will need to recompile the code and look at the errors (or warnings) and figure out how to do the equivalent in Win32
