Hi Ron Avery, hope you are having a nice day
 RA>         I did too, pretty cool looking core dump on my machine!
Yeah, pretty cool.
 RA>         seg_a   segment byte    public
 RA>                 assume  cs:seg_a; ds:seg_a
 RA>                 org     100h
 RA>         main:   jmp     start
 RA>         b_msg   db      'Loading OS...', 0
 RA>         start:  mov     ax, 0B800h              ; Point to CGA screen
 RA>                 mov     es, ax
 RA>                 mov     si, offset b_msg        ; Point to b_msg string
 RA>                 xor     bx, bx                  ; Clear BX
 RA>         msg_l:  mov     dl, byte ptr [si]       ; Get a character
 RA>                 cmp     dl, 0                   ; See if it is NULL
 RA>                 je      msg_e                   ; If it is, end
 RA>                 mov     dh, 2                   ; I think green is cool
 RA>                 mov     word ptr es:[bx], dx    ; Send the char/attr 
air
 RA>                 inc     si                      ; Increment the pointers
 RA>                 inc     bx
 RA>                 inc     bx
 RA>                 jmp     msg_l                   ; Next character
 RA>         msg_e:  ret
 RA>         seg_a   ends
 RA>                 end     main
Thank you very much.
 RA>         You could expand on this routine and offer users of the OS a
 RA> wide range of screen functions...  Sort of like DOS, but don't make them
 RA> so bad to use!  
No no, i will make it verry good.
