You don't need it. You had to use it in DOS to access a couple of DOS and BIOS functions, but in Linux there is no DOS and you can't do BIOS calls. Most of the functionality you want can be reached through libc (for the normal stuff), ncurses or slang (for cursor control), or X Windows (for graphics). Erik -- J.A.K.
