That all depends on what you are optimizing for: speed or size. If you are optimizing for speed (the norm) it is good to use macros for small procedures where the overhead saved by not CALLing is sufficient to justify the additional size incurred by the repetition of code. If you are optimizing for size, there are few cases where macros are usable.

On-topic it is. :-) I've recently been wondering about multiprocessor boards-- how on earth would a guy code for them? Does each processor have it's own RAM, or do they share a common spool in some fashion? Saw an article the other day that implied future upgrades to a PC will involve adding more processors. Your next desktop would have the potential to become a supercomputer using off-the-shelf (Intel?) components. --- timEd 1.01 * Origin: James Vahn (jvahn@short.circuit.com) (1:346/15.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 145 ASSEMBLY LANG.

From your results, it seems to me that you have a DOS version of 3.x or higher. IOW, if you have DOS 2.x or lower, use AH = 00 (or it will say not to try installing as it isn't sure what version of DOS you have, since its newer than 2.x). I'd go with using AH = 01, though, as it seems that it won't matter what version of DOS you have, but it will return what seems to be the right code/message. Tika ...
