Answer 1

wonderful...

how many people still program hw this way? i suggest you to learn something about all dos programs and the interupt and function you can access via "int x" instruction.

doing so you can not be sure it will work properly if the running environment is say windows or linux.

you *can* access windows api from assembly too (windows if window is what you run).

anyway take a look at
