If memory serves me right, in DOS 8086 assembly this would be less
that 20 bytes, most of them being the string itself.

That may be, but I'm not running a DOS machine, I'm running a Windows
32-bit machine.

I know... I think I have a windows 98 machine about somewhere... So we
all know there's a DOS to play with :-)

Now all I've gotta do is find a DOS compiler... Where's that guy with
D2??!

Have you had a look at WDOSEX
- it converts a compiled Windows EXE into something that runs in pure
DOS in real mode

Quite astonishing - 1mb strings in pure MSDOS

Ooooh, never heard of it... Sounds interesting... I shall google.

Thanks for that.
