mov ax,1003h
mov bl,0 ;bl = 0 no blink = 1 for blink int 10h I think you get 16 background (paper) colors without the blink? -- casey |

My current Video Mode is 03H, I tried your code in FreeDos debug.com, but it has no effect.

Sorry I was confusing the flashing cursor with a flashing character.
You might try Ralfs interrupt list, http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ralf/files.html -- casey |

Maybe it's not easy to fulfill this kind of function in one 'int' instruction on PC platform. That is why both linux and BSD refers it as SoftCursor, I suppose.
And I think the possible way to do is, turn off the cursor first, and then write our own cursor with reverse display... |

That is what I remember doing when playing with the text mode.
Do you use the mouse functions? Graphic modes were more fun. It has been at least seven years since I last used assembler with DOS. I don't think DOS is all that practical since WindowsME. I think if you use DOS you might as well turn off Windoze

hi, its easy, do this:
Code: cursoron: ; Turns CURSOR ON. mov ah,1 mov cx,0x0607 int 10h ret cursoroff: ; Turns CURSOR OFF. mov ah,1 mov cx,0x1400 int 10h ret cursorhidden: ; Returns 1 if cursorhidden, 0 otherwise. mov ah,0x03 int 10h xor al,al cmp ch,$20 jne .skip mov al,1 .skip: ret hmm, i remeber there is some custom cursor function too, search in the rb int list, it should be somewhere near these functions. |
