I am trying to figure how I can find out why this isn't
working but not sure where to start.

I have debug, Turbo Debugger, IDAFW, and time.

It works in the .exe which prompts for the filename.

UDATASEG ;<<Any uninitialized data is defined here>>

random db 64000 dup(?) ; whatever is in memory at the time

CODESEG

   STARTUPCODE

            ; NOT WORKING at present !!
zero_out: ; Set memory to zero
        mov [random + bx],00h
        inc bx
        cmp bx,64000
        jnz zero_out

Been job hunting for over a year but still hopeful I'll find something.

I think I have figured out some possible meanings of phrases I have seen.

FOR HUMOR ONLY :-)

Company - not listed

Possible Meaning(s)

  - Job is a little embarrasing

  - Pay might be lower than average

  - Company is shy

  - They want to recruit job seekers who like surprises

  - Job seekers are really flexible, major changes in
    salary are NAP(not a problem)

  - Company is brand new and haven't picked out a name
    yet ( Some have been known to pay for a new name at the
   interview )
          
Fast Paced Environment

- Company is very good at keeping down salary costs

- You're busier that a one-legged man in a *** kicking contest

- Candidates don't have children, wife, or attend church

- Attractive to those who decided to "simplify their life" and
  bask in going to a new job every 6 months

- Prospective employees have buds, family or friends who work at
  doctor's offices and hospitals and they are helping them keep their
  job by coming in for blood pressure medicine, ulcer meds etc.

Send in salary requirements

- Company is really cool and flexible, they'll pay up to 20% over average
  pay I.E. They want to attract the best and keep them

- They aren't quite sure what the job is worth, your input is important
  and they want to be fair
