Compilation, linking and execution instructions for 'Timer.asm'
-------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Timer.asm is a small demonstration on how to capture an irq. In this
case the timer, irq 0, int 8... 
NOTE: requires V2_OS v0.53b or higher, crashes otherwise...
-------------------------------------------------------------------

To compile this version of timer.asm, you'll need Borland Turbo Assembler.
Make sure it is installed properly, and that it's \bin directory is in your path-environment variables. If your having problems with this, please refer to the Readme files of Turbo Assembler.

1). type 'tasm timer'
If this is giving errors, please refer to the Turbo Assembler Readme, or post your error on the V2_OS forum(www.v2.nl/v2_os)

2). type 'tlink timer /3 /t'
If this is giving errors, please refer to the Turbo Assembler Readme, or post your error on the V2_OS forum(www.v2.nl/v2_os)
The /3 parameter makes sure your making a 32Bit application, and the /t parameter tells the linker to not put headers in your output image. This will produce a .com file.

3). type 'ren timer.com timer.app'
This is not realy needed, it's just to make a difference from com files. Otherwise you could run it from dos or windows, and it could give unpredictable results.

4). Insert a V2_OS formatted floppy in drive A:
If you do not have a V2_OS formatted floppy, please refer to the Readme file in the SDK directory.

5). type 'v2copy timer.app timer.app'
This will copy your local hello.app file to a file on the V2_OS formatted floppy.

6). now reboot a pc with the floppy you've just made.
If the system is booted, you can execute your program by typing 'run timer.app'
The demo is pretty self-explaining...
