> Oh wow! Assembler code!

Back then, assembly was pretty much all I wrote in.  Occasionally a
random high level language, but assembler was my favorite.  At one
point I wrote a D470C color graphics terminal emulator in 100%
assembler.  It fit in a 64k rom chip ;-)

In fact, DJGPP has its own assembler just to build the stub loader,
which is 2k of really tense assembler.
