; ONEPAGE.ASM
;
; This is a one-page, one-segment Intel assembler program in ".COM" form.
; Copy ONEPAGE.ASM to your disk and then assemble it to produce a
; ONEPAGE.OBJ file.  Then link ONEPAGE.OBJ to produce a ONEPAGE.COM file.
; Use these command lines (note the trailing semicolon on each):
;
;       C:> asm /s onepage ;
;       C:> val /co onepage ;
;
;  - Using a semicolon as an argument suppresses all the prompts
;    for output files and uses the defaults.  (See the documentation.)
;  - The /s option to ASM suppresses unnecessary verbosity.
;  - The /co option to VAL creates a ".COM" file (instead of a ".EXE")
