Thanks. This has been very useful tips. Now getting back to my original question: How do I display Japanese characters in a C program? Suppose I get a text file which has unicode text in Japanese and is displayed in XP as Japanese characters if I load it using Wordpad say, How do I display this in FreeDOS or WatCom C? Any hint will be greatly appreciated. Basudeb

Four words: Ralph Brown's Interrupt List That is all the documentation you'll ever need (imho) for int 21 functions. -- Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
