Unless I'm mistaken, conditional jumps on 8086 don't go beyond -128 .. 127 (signed) byte range. Hence the billions of workarounds (TASM "jumps", MASM "option ljmp", etc). >> "section .data align=1" is probably what you intended here.

But you still have it commented out, so I assume you at least wanted it for descriptive purposes. >> The program does not end in a CR+LF pair. Thus the output is an >> incomplete line.

This seems to be consistent with both FreeDOS and > MS-DOS, so I thought I'd exploit this to save a few bytes in the program. Most (but not all) FreeCOM versions do this too. But ... that won't work if you redirect the output to file. Then the CR+LF is (still) missing. Of course, if you really need a workaround, afterwards do "echo. >>bsum.out" and don't worry about it. (I still have at least one util with the same problem, but I didn't fix it yet either. Trivial but annoying. Some tools get confused by such incomplete lines.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user --- Internet Rex 2.29 * Origin: capcity2.synchro.net - 502/875-8938 (276:10/901) --- Synchronet 3.15a-Linux ListGate 1.3 * Capitol City Online - Frankfort, KY - telnet://capitolcityonline.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
