About segment registers in PMODE ! ?

[RodrigoFagner]

Hi, I´m learning PMode! I just begin to write a small kernel in Borland Pascal with Tasm but I have a problem! I think a big one! many procedure in pascal it does changes the DS ES, DI, SI and then the pc crash!!! :@!#$#@$@##$%:%¨$%@#?@!#
I´m not using a TSS just like PMTUTS 03 from Alexei Frounze!
"! ! ! many thanks for him ! ! !", please, one question, If I use TSS can I change the DS with a invalid selector? only for procedure or funtions in pascal!

I have a many tutorials but almost everything is in C and asm or just asm!

please ! helpppppppppp me!!!!!!!! I´m geting Crazyyyyyyy!

One good advice I can give you....don't write your OS with Pascal...

Use asm and C...

[Anton]

I think(as far as i remmember) there is a keyword "interrupt" for procedures, and then the procedure does not change DS,...

The language that he makes is OS in is up to him, I use to program in pascal (3 years ago) and is one of best  language's around,The down side is most os tuts are in C or asm.
So what he is doing will be a great help to pascal programmer's.
I wish him good luck

PS. I can not help, because i have forgoten most of my turbo pascal programming.

MANY TANKS TO EVERYBODY! I´LL TRY GNU-PASCAL

Before making your mind up try these pascal compilers:

Actually, my hat goes off to FPC, an incredibly fast, vercatile and x-platform Pascal compiler, certainly worth a look imho.

P.S. Ingore the trolls that say "Use this or that language", they arn't worth listening to (Coming from someone who has coded for 18 years in asm, Pascal, C and C++)

You are right, But you can come to a brick wall,By this i mean i loved programming in pascal,But it was hard to get libs to do things like help you make a mp3 players,you after keep reinvent the wheel, and most of this work you do in ASM ,So in the end i give up pascal and make all things in 100% assembly and, in programmig terms is the best thing i did.

ps: the best language is the one that suet you!
