This question is about linking code written in assembler using the DJGPP
linker.

Hi,
When I write 32-bit code in assembler (to simply display a string, no setup,
or entry code whatsoever),then compile to the COFF object file format and
link using LD, is this automatically a protected mode program. If so, where
does the code come from to enter protected mode?
Am I writing a protected-mode program here or simply a 32-bit plain DOS
executable?

Thanks, apologies for the dumb question
Graham
