Thanks :-)

1. Does your 8086 have at least 640 KiB RAM ? What floppy does it have ? 3+1/2 1.4 MiB would be cool but I doubt ...
2. How much RAM does your 80386 have ?
3. How much RAM does your 80486 have ? MPlayer needs at least 32 MiB, 7-ZIP might work with less too (if you set dict size properly)

You might get mail one day ;-)

But things like

MOV EAX, $FEDC'1234

will never work in any assembler except FASM :-)

As there is no usable alternative ...

Deprecate it ;-)

FASM can too and very well :-) ... just not on 8086 :-(
