im trying to learn assembly (at&t syntax), and i made a little program that 
prints out a string:

..file "junk.s"                          # new logical file

..data

   string:
      .ascii "hello there!\r\n$"

..text

..global _main
_main:

      movl $string, %dx                 # move string into dx
      movb $0x09, %ah                   # print the string, calling
      int  $0x21                        # int 21h, subfunction 9h

      ret                               # leave program

it works under win95, but doesnt under dos (with cwsdpmi v2), it prints out 
junk on the screen.  am i doing this right, if im not, how come it works 
under win95?

another question, what does '.align' do and why do i need it?
