Subj: New PDN files at <<PRISM BBS

Today, Saturday 10-01-98, <<PRISM BBS released following files :
 PDNASM          - PDN: Assembly Related 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 GRDBDL12.ZIP 155078 GRDB is a real-mode debugger which supports up    
                     to the Pentium instruction set, with source.
                     GRDB is intended as a program development
                     tool.  GRDB is similar to debug in many ways.
                     The major departure to the basic interface has
                     been in making some of the commands less
                     archaic.  Also a variety of status commands
                     have been added to help you see what is going
                     on. for questions or complaints contact the
                     author at:
                     gclind01@starbase.spd.louisville.edu

Subj: WTD MASM Tutorial?

     Hi All
     I've just picked up a copy of MASM 6.1 and would like to teach 
     myself assmebly programming.  The books that came with MASM are
     good, but I feel I'm getting lost in all the snippets of code,
     (a lot of the example code are procedures or parts of a program).  
     You know of a tutorial I can d/l or view on the web, let me know.
     Thanks
... Answers: $1, Short: $5, Correct: $25, dumb looks are still free.

It was either fixed in the 80C86/80C88, or on chips with a 1981 copyright 
date stamped on them, depending on who you listen to... or maybe the chips 
with the 1981 copyright date *ARE* 80C86/80C88 chips.

I would hope it didn't, since it's a rather serious bug, and it had 
supposedly been fixed by then.

The one in the bootsector is new, came with DOS 4, I think.  I'm not sure 
what good it is, actually.  ;)  Even DOS 6.22 seems to look in the root 
directory for the volume ID.
