True, but that was after I pointed it out, anway...

Well, it'll probably take me a while to convert it into a pure assembly
file. Hopefully, if I manage to complete it, I'll it share here. Until then,
might you been interested in my C version?. (Microsoft C)
The program uses the BIOS' 8x8 ROM font, to "scroll" a message across the
VGA screen. (MCGA 256-colors) Because it uses the ROM font, it's a pretty
small and quick scroller.
Cheers,
  Denis Boyles
