Code from scratch using debug.  Wow.  You were a masochist.  Chasm was the
way to go back then.  Awesome direct machine control.  I also had a book of
machine calls and dos calls that made it a piece of cake.  It was
interesting to see that not every bios treated every machine call the same
way too.  I documented a couple bugs that would trash the registers on some
machine bios'.  Particularly video calls.
