How to put internal Shell Commands in NASM?

Oct 14th, 2007
I have this kernel with the shell, and I'm trying to put the time and date commands in it but can't seem to make it work. It shows no error while compiling but it doesn't do anything when I test it. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Here's the code so far:

Re: How to put internal Shell Commands in NASM?

You have several "int 0x21" calls in your code. These are DOS calls:

Since DOS is not loaded (indeed, you are writing your own OS), then you cannot use these functions. You must restrict yourself to just the BIOS calls.
