Hey...
Can anybody tell me where to get information about how to use the
int86() function?

Its not a standard C function, and how it works is platform specific.
You'll need to read the documentation for your platform, and bear in
mind that using an old compiler on a modern OS may not succeed, since
the old compiler may assume it can do things to hardware that modern
OSes prohibit.
