I've just received an M-motion board. Actually, I prefer to write in Pascal, but I think I should start learning C. There are some sample programs in the installation diskette, in \mmedia\samples\dos I don't have the one written in Microsoft's C 5.1 (I've sent a message to the people at IBM) AVICDEMO.C, (if you do have this program, please let me know). But there are other programs in IBM C/2 that you could compile and test.
I'll work with the m-motion, and I'll try to answer the question of the interrupts in Pascal soon, this first message is for make contact with you (actually this is my first time with this discussion group).

Any help will be appreciated
