Hello
So I was reading some example code of other assembly codes and I was thinking these other assembly languages looked harder because they require to set up the data segments yourself and with those interrupts? On the other side I feel masm is quite similar to c++ and the others aren't.
Am I wrong about this or not? Just asking for opinions..
that has nothing to do with the assembler that is used
you are looking at old 16-bit DOS code
segmented memory models, and INT's instead of "named" API functions
even though it may look more difficult, it was actually easier
there were maybe 200 or so DOS and BIOS function calls - you could almost memorize all of them
but, the results were far less spectacular - lol
and, not nearly as powerful
(single user, single task, text mode unless you write all the graphics, limited to 640K RAM)
