This will be a huge exe! Try this

int cur;

void putc(char* vid, char ch) {
    vid[cur++] =

int main() {
    char* video;
    cur = 0 // You could get the cursor pos ...

    video = (char*)0xB8000; // 0xB0000 for monocrome monitors.
    while (*message++) {
        putc(video,*message);
    }
}

And link without the stdlib, almost as small as an asm
