Hi,
I've got a question about placing data in a structure array.
In TASM and MASM one can define a structure (i.e. Fields),
One can also define an array (i.e. Array) consisting of
let's say 10 Fields structures.
Each element in the array is such a structure (see code below).
Now I want to fill all the elements within the array with data.
The code below does it for the first element of the array.
But how do I fill the second, third....tenth element?
In this example the size of the structure is known, and
we could work with offsets and such, but
let us assume we don't know the size of the structure upfront...
I read several Assembly books, but found no answer there
Only the Microsoft Macro Assembler Bible told me how to set up
a structure array, but not how to fill it with data.
Can someone tell me how that is accomplished?
Thank you for your attention.
Bo.
ps, the code below compiles and runs ok using Turbo Assembler.

car and say "look I've constructed a car".
If you really want to construct your own "car" use DOS calls.
