Starting M. S.-DOS Assembler

Designed for PC owners who wish to write short and effective assembly language routines, this text integrates Assembler with DOS and illustrates how a reader with some knowledge of BASIC can quickly make use of 8086/8088 Assembly language and MS-DOS subroutines. After an introduction to machine code, the author shows how to design effective Assembly language programs with practical illustrations such as keyboard handling, text input and output. The use of the shareware A86 assembler is described in detail, together with extensive technical appendices covering undocumented MS-DOS features, 8086/8088 instructions and addressing methods.
