An older C/C++ compiler can build these programs even on Windows XP machines
That is not what I said. I said those interrupts can only be used in 16-bit MS-DOS programs, which requires a 16-bit compiler. The interrupts can not be used if the program is built with any 32 or 64 bit compiler targeted for either MS-Windows or *nix.
That's not quite true. You don't really need to know assembler as long as you know how to access the REGS structure. It's all taken care of for you.
Well, tell me how anyone can now how to populate the REGS structure if he knows absolutely nothing about assembly language??? True he doesn't need to know about many assembler instructions, but he does need to know a lot about the interrupts he is attempting to access.
