I don't know. Well, not "call", but "pass down". When you install your exception handler, you save its old value, and when your handler decides to not to handle the exception, it simply does a jmp to the address pointed to by the old vector. I cannot imagine how this could create problems. >> Not much. I have to run FVDI from the auto folder. > > Could you describe why you have to? Because I need a vector-font GDOS. So I need to use NVDI. This only works when NVDI is loaded after the fVDI. And NVDI can only be loaded from the auto folder. -- CVV Konrad M.Kokoszkiewicz, http://draco.atari.org ** Ea natura multitudinis est, aut seruit humiliter, aut superbe dominatur. ** Taka to już natura pospólstwa, albo służalczo się płaszczy, ** albo bezczelnie się panoszy.
