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

Actually I get 26 bytes

CODE SEGMENT PARA PUBLIC 'CODE'
ASSUME CS:CODE,DS:CODE,ES:CODE
ORG 100h

BEGIN:
lea DX, Msg
mov AH, 9
int 21h

mov AH, 4Ch ; ===== EXIT to DOS ===>
int 21h

Msg db 'Hullo World',13,10,'$'

CODE ENDS
END BEGIN

Using Int 20h to exit actually comes out at 27 bytes

I suppose one could lose the 13, 10
- yes that is fine, down to 24 bytes

You don't need the function 4c on to exit on the end either, just
exit. 1 left to loose.
