Hi, there. This is a _really_ trivial point, and I wonder if I'm correct.

When I run this masterful program, I get an exit of 12 octal (gdb) or 10
decimal (fsdb), and I'm wondering if the next to last line might be
modified to
         
         movw   $0x4c00, %ax

This sets %al to 0, sort of like

return(0);

in C, I guess.

When I make this one change, then gdb reports a normal exit, and fsdb an
exit code of 0.

If this is wrong or unwise, then it's another step in the education of a
beginner. If this might be helpful, then maybe we have an example of how
the highest and the lowest can work together on this newsgroup to come up
with solutions.

Most respectfully,
