Hello,
I've come to a point in my study of MASM where I can't work the
examples for
disk I/O unless I have Windows 98 or less.

Is that a signed "less" or an unsigned "less"? :)

Signed or unsigned? Signed or unsigned? We don't even know
if it's an integral type or floating point type yet!

However, I don't see any point in "windows 98", so it
must be an integer and we're back to your question again.
