I have some old DOS code on all this. If you are interested
just send a private email. It is written in the NASM syntax
and I used NASMIDE for my 16 bit DOS programming.

Debugging other peoples code is boring. If you have a good
tutorial source there should be plenty of bug free sources
for you to learn from.
