   Thanks for the hint.   
   I think I mistook the drivers-unit with the bgidriv-unit.   
   All graphics-drivers-inclusion-problems are solved so far.   
      
   Nonetheless the drivers-unit also seems to be interesting, e.g.   
   when one wishes to catch up interrupt-results in conjunction   
   with some disk-drive-related operations. (But I have some problems   
   with dpmi-applications.)   
   I installed the german-language-distribution of Boland-Pascal 7.   
   There is an additional disk, containing the RTL-sources (runtime-   
   library source-code). Therein I also found "drivers.pas".   
   The problem was/is that this file did not really correspond to the   
   respective unit but to a prior version of it.   
   (E.g. there was no FailSysErrors-Boolean-Variable defined in   
   drivers.pas-file but it was available when using drivers.tpu.)   
   Obtaining the RTL-sources-Disk of the english-language-distribution   
   somehow solved the problem. (That means the drivers.pas therein   
   differs from that of the german-language distribution and   
   a boolean-variable "FailSysErrors" is defined therein.)   
      
   Nonetheless - after looking through this file - I decided that it might   
   be a good idea to learn a bit more about assembler-programming for   
   different modes (DPMI/Real) and different platforms (DOS/Windows/   
   Linux) first.   
   Which tutorials/books can be recommended?   
      
   Sincerely   
      
   Ulrich
