I have been programming under OS/2 and DOS for quite some time but I have no idea where to even start looking for a reference on how to program something that will boot but is completely non operating system dependent. Any references (books, articles, files, etc...) that might help be in this matter would be appreciated. I would especially like something that is used as a University or College textbook since I find these cover information the fastest, but this is not mandatory. Thanks, Mike Henders mdhender@acs.ucalgary.ca
