Translating it directly won't work.  You have not only a different
syntax, but a different processor mode and a different memory model.

Personally, I would translate it

printf("Hello there !");
exit(0);

Since this snippet involves passing a buffer to DOS, it's a bit
complex.  But if you really want to make it work, see FAQ sections 18.2
and 18.13.
