This is insane madness.  I am trying to call the simplest function of
all time but I cant do it.  I read docs and manuals etc.  But I have
comeup completely null.  Anyway, here is the problem.  All I want to do
is use the function printf from a library or dll or anywhere under dos
using NASM.  I have seen the linux version with a simple use of extern
printf and then a call to printf.  Of course this isnt that simple
under dos where printf has to be loaded by a library or module or
something.  I have run into several problems trying to use printf.  I
thought I could try the MASM way and use stdlib.lib which I think is
the best way.  The only thing is that when I link the lib and the obj
file I get an invalid module error.  I am using masm linker563 and nasm
to create the obj files.  I thought maybe I could try writing a c obj
file that just has "stdio.h" the only thing about that is that I am
using visualC++ 6 which is a 32-bit compiler and I am trying to write
this in 16 bits for simplicity.

Are there any other ways to print similar to printf,  It is a very
powerful function.  I really dont want to go to linux right now, and
really dont want to use masm's syntax or 32-bit code.  If anybody has
solution I am all ears.
