Interrupts

[realtyu]

I cant use some interrupts in MASM


I take memory reference error.
I think Im using Dos interrupts
can I use any interrupt for W32?

here are INT descriptions

As far as I know you can't use interrupts in a real W32 prog, you'll have to use the WIN32-API.
If you build DOS exes (you'll need the old linker therefore; I don't mean WIN32 console exes) you can use some interrupts, but not all.

Depending on what you want to do, there are functions available that have replaced what the INTs did in DOS.
If you want something specific: shout :lol

there are functions available that have replaced what the INTs did in DOS.

I knew that it was not possible to call interrupts with a 32-bit assembler, but that confused me as how do you get things done? I'm really only interested in writing console apps and not Win32 GUI apps. So where would I find the "functions available that have replaced what the INTs did in DOS" ?

Use the API called GetStdHandle. Then use WriteFile with that handle.

realtyu,

If you are interested in writing win32 console apps and don't yet have the practice writing runtime library components for doing so, try the console mode macros in MASM32. They are designed to take the hack work out of console mode apps.
