Re: Real mode int from protected mode and back

Great... I can use the dos memory block to pass the parameters...
Can ES:EDI pointer to registers structure be null? And what do you
mean by zeroing any unused registers? You mean zero them all and then
rewrite ax and dx (the needed registers) again?
Thanks
