I did make a program a while ago called dintt (Dos INTerrupt Tester) that
allows the programmer to "test" different interrupts very easily in a DOS GUI
environment. It also allows the programmer to export the current interrupt
setting into Euphoria code.
Right now its still in beta stage and it has been for a very long time. I did
not realease any more enhanced versions (the current one has some limitations)
because there was absolutely no demand.
I do not know if this is what you (Gottwald) need or not. im just rambling
about myself.
