Hi,

I=B4ve got a problem in my Pascal program.
I want to run a DOS-program in my program with the EXEC procedure (Unit =

DOS). =

But the trouble is that this DOS-program ends when the user presses any =

key.
To run it without interruption I want to lock the keyboard for the time =

the program runs (or only for a few minutes).

      Could anyone please tell me how to do this?
                 Thanks

        See ya

The thing you could do is hooking the keyboard interrupt before the
program is executed (and restore it afterwards...) The keyboard
interrupt is interrupt 16h (hex), the BIOS keyboard services. I assume
that the running program doesn't use the keyboard for other actions than
quiting? If so, than you can NOT use this strategy!

I hope this helps....
