The program I'm writing is a simple text based program intended to run 
in a DOS window. I don't know about you other people, but I'm only a 
sophomore CS major who hasn't had the classes or the time to try writing 
Ada programs for Windows, although I'd like to :)  Having said this, can 
I use interrupts?
  I'm using ASM to position the cursor because the other Ada packages 
I've tried aren't very fast at moving the cursor to several different 
areas of the screen quickly.  There's also some other things I'd like to 
try with ASM and Ada, if nothing else, just for fun and to see if I 
myself can make it work.
  Would MASM produce the correct 32 bit object code?
