I have tried to figure this out and have had no luck. I want be able to read from and write to the serial and parallel ports. I have not been able to use anything in bios.h yet. I keep getting a message that the function has not prototype: /* Example for _bios_serialcom */ #include <bios.h> #include <iostream.h> void main() { unsigned com1_status; com1_status = _bios_serialcom (3,0,0); cout<<" Com1 status : "<<com1_status<<endl; } The exact error is : Error: function '_bios_serialcom' has no prototype Here is what the compiler sees of bios.h : ---------------------------------------------------------------- /* Copyright (C) 1986-2001 by Digital Mars. $Revision: 1.1.1.1 $ */ #if 0x823 || __RCC__ #pragma once #endif #ifndef __BIOS_H #define __BIOS_H 1 #ifndef __NT__ #endif /* __NT__ */ #endif ---------------------------------------------------------------- Any suggestions?

It worked! Thank you. I must ask why I needed to use a large memory model though? Thanks again! Jan Knepper wrote:Try using sc -ml...
