Wow! It is a touch of master! Despite I prefer TASM conventions your code is much cleaner than mine. I like your use of AAM instruction :-) The only thing I think was better in my code was common procedure for converting number to string for both numeric systems :-/ Note: In dosemu on my 2 GHz

Is possible to call a software interrupt from hardware interrupt? I want to call INT33h/AX=3 from INT 1Ch handler. And this all works in protected mode. I tried to call INT33h through DPMI service 31h but it crashed. Is it possible at all?

Thank you, I'll try these possibilities. Support for 4th and 5th mouse button might be useful for someone but I don't have such mouse and don't remember if I have ever seen it . But very interresting would be some mouse protect mode interface. Something similar like VESA VBE protect mode interface

FDRC is nice and comfortable. But you could go further. Now is the TSR module called by hotkey. What about making a alternate interface through some interrupt? Now FDRC serves to users but if you would make some API let's say on 2Fh DOS multiplex it could serve to programmers also. I would like
