Re^5: Perl Operating System

in thread Perl Operating System

Oh my, it has been so many years…

mov ah, 09h
mov dx, offset msg
int 21h
ret
msg db "ASM?$"
[download]

(The ret is a CP/M remnant. There's an int 20h at the top of the program segment prefix and DOS puts a 0000 word on the stack before it passes control to the program. We are now deep in the dark ages of microcomputer "operating systems".)

Makeshifts last the longest.

When VB came out I lamented ignoring my once well honed BASIC skills. With Delphi I almost convinced myself that Pascal was not really as bad as I remembered. Stirring up Abigail-II has been the only honest use of very rusty ASM skills in nearly 20 years :-) cheers tachyon	[reply]
