Has anyone done any work on a version of M. Bolin's keyread.e (or something similar) for Linux? If not, how do you install an interrupt handler under Linux? get/set_vector() aren't available. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Interrupt handlers in linux are done via signals i believe. You can begin your process as normal and send it "signals" just like you would interrupts in DOS. There are a few differences though. I would recommend a good book or online tutorial regarding Linux/Unix IPC ( Inter-Process Communication ) to learn more about signals. I will be working on a wrapper for most linux IPC functions ( including signals ) but right now my focus is on Berkley sockets so it might be a while before i get anything good done with signals. signals is far too large a topic to fully disguss here. I recommend a book: "Unix Network Programming" by W. Richard Stevens (C) 1990 PTR Prentice Hall. even thought it is very old it has *ALOT* of useful information on signals. Hope that helps. -- cense a member of the ak-software development team http://ak-software.virtualave.net/ contract work for Web Velocity IT inc. http://www.webvelocity.ca/
