The instructor nor I can figure it out!!
FIRST SEMESTER ASSEMLY STUDENT
This should be a very simply exercise but can't get the desired result.
I define a string, then I want to grab that string, move it to a different location then display the string.
I create the program in edit and save as an XXX.asm
Next use MASM to create an LST and OBJ file.
Run the program under debug and single step the instructions using the T, trace command.
ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS EXECUTE, BUT THERE IS SOME ADDRESS OFFSET PROBLEM (I THINK). When I hit 'P' after getting to the first INT 21 I get a bunch of characters I don't want before and after I see the data I want displayed.
I am willing to call anywhere in the US to talk to somebody live if needed to figure this one out.
