Direct access to disk via Int 13
Good afternoon to all. I am a old school C and ASSY programmer and am trying to convert several programs I wrote more than 20 yrs ago in 16 bit Borland C.
The problem is that they use BIOS.H that allows you to call int 13 via the biosdisk routine. I understand why many would wish direct access to hardware go away but for some us it is necessary.
So my question is: was there a file that directly replaced the bios.h file, if so what is it.. and if now what are others doing to gain direct access to absolute disk sectors on a disk? Also that I cant find the GOTOXY routine that I used a lot on the past... what replaces that routine?
Thanks for any help
