   Ken, do you have access to a current copy of the Intel RLL Builder User's
Guide ? This book contains templates for doing a lot of useful things in the
386 flat architecture, hard code provided in the book. Very recent copies
contain floppies with the templates. If you can't get your hands on one, please
e-mail me your US-mail address: the technical writer will send you a hard copy
for your very own.
