Title: Reference Sheets? (Or something of that like)
Post by: Mirage on September 23, 2010, 04:41:46 AM
Since my teacher seems to be practically useless in my class I was wondering if anyone has some sort of easy reference sheet (I have a book but looking through it constantly would be more difficult then having a simple sheet)

For DOS (Int 21h) or 8086 assembler? Please be a little more specific.

A quick google pulled up a couple of examples.

The commercial MASM offering used to come with a small notebook / flipbook reference guide for the instruction set. The electronic equivalent was a "Norton Guide" to assembler. These days I'd just google it, or have a suitable PDF opened and search it electronically.

DOS.


Although with how my class is going I somehow am thinking we're not gonna get past hello world.


Think I found what I wanted.

Hello Sr Mirage, the original "norton guides" program is a TSR (Terminate and stay resident) so you can press a hotkey while you are inside a debug program. The files are ng.exe and asm.ng(xor). You have found the text.
Another ones is "techhelp" or "helppc", both TSR to these old times.
regards.

Oh I wish that every language was as well documented as java was.

High level languages spoiled me.
