How could I break an infinite loop??

May 8th, 2007

Hi guys again,
If I have an infinite loop for example:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

           MOV CX, 240
           MOV DX, 320
 
HERE:  MOV AH, 2CH
           INT 21H
           CMP DH, 1
           JE DOT
           MOV AX, 0C00H
           INT 10H
DOT:    MOV AX, 0C04H
            INT 10H
            JMP HERE

In the example I have an infinite loop. I want to break this, however, I don't want to stop it functionality ( plups every 60 seconds) ...

int 21, ah = 01 will stop the loop untill you press any key.
As I said I don't stop the loop, I wanna keep it working untill someone press ESC for example...

So, if any idea please tell me about it.
Thanks in advance

Indispensable reading.

Int 16/AH=01h perhaps.

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
Do not PM me for help; You'll be ignored, or told to learn to read.
Do not ask me if I'm muslim - I'm not. Nor do I care about yours or anyone else's mysticism. Religion is a matrix, take the RED PILL.
