As a +side effect, there is no nice way to debug this code. In order +to debug this code, you will have to run the code under syslinux. + +GCC & 16-bit code +----------------- +The code was ported to GCC by Peter Anvin. + +OpenWatcom & 16-bit code +------------------------ +Originally this code was written for the Openwatcom compiler +and generated .COM files, which could execute under DOS as well as +SYSLINUX. |
