Why? Modern operating systems already provide these capabilities to
you, in a fairly abstract way, so you don't need to be messing with
low-level details like BIOS interrupts. In fact, in most cases, the OS
won't even let you get that low-level.

No. Your compiler may provide system library calls for interrupt handling.

Get rid of Turbo C. While it does provide the int86() system call,
this is MS-DOS specific and probably shouldn't be used under the
Windows environment (as far as I know -- I don't know what the impacts
might be for, say, doing stuff with the mouse interrupt under
Windows). Turbo C is an ancient compiler and is way behind in what
modern compilers can provide.
