Hello,
I'm now wanting to play around with BootProg, I'm thinking to use languages like Turbo Pascal, QuickBASIC and others, but using as example Pascal(that I want most), how could I do the DOS Functions, as file access and some simple memory management things when booting using BootProg?

Best Regards,
Nathan Paulino Campos

How would you want to use DOS functions when it isn't running? You are writing the OS, not building a program for an existing one. Did you bother checking to what extent using your compiler generates unusable code because it was designed to make DOS programs?

OT: a kind request to please remove the banner from your signature, people will hate you for reasons varying from the wasting of their dial-up bandwidth, waste of screen space, or religious issues.

Ok. Banner removed, but I'm going to design another one.

I've changed the banner now. It's my emulated Macintosh.
Who don't want to see it, just block the images.

I think you're missing the point here...
