Hello !

About four weeks to Chrismas !

Okay, back to business...
If I ask nicely would some of you cybernauts in cyberspace be so kind
and check the following NASM code that puts a string on the screen using =

BIOS functions and method explained in FAQ 18.2. (I think there is a=20
problem for placing the string to screen)

Also, there are few code examples in GAS, Inline Asm & NASM in my
homepage http://www.saunalahti.fi/traveler (under construction, LIBBIN
and LIBDOS are not ready yet). So it would be nice if somebody could=20
check these too and report any bugs or improvement for me.

Thanks in Advance
And Merry Ch... (Oh, not just yet)
