Hey there!

Ok, I compiled it again, with TASM v3.1 and TLINK v7.00 and it was 226 bytes 
:(
Hmm..  Did you use some command line parameters I should know about?
And just a few questions!
 EB> stksize = 200h
 EB> start proc
 EB> ; move stack pointer
 EB> stkend = (stkptr - start) + stksize + 100h
 EB> mov sp, stkend
 EB> ; resize block so we can allocate some memory
 EB> mov bx, (stkend + 100h) / 10h
 EB> mov ah, 4ah
 EB> int 21h
Ok, firstly, you've got stkend + 100h, but you also added 100h to stkend
previously.  Should that be there?  Also, I don't quite follow what you've
done.  I understand that one has to resize the amount of memory allocated to
your program to the size of all your code.  But do you have to actually 
allocate
the size of your code minus the size of your stack?  And how come you changed
sp?
 EB> mov si,di
 EB> sub si,320
 EB> mov bl, [di]
 EB> mov ax, bx
 EB> mov bl, [si]   ; di-320
How come you did it this way?  I checked in Turbo Debugger, and mov bl, 
[di-320]
was smaller than what you've done here.
Ok, I think that's about it for now :)
Oh, one last thing, do you get FidoNet mail through email or something?
