mov BX, CX ; Needs to be in BX for the next line. Stupid hardware weenies. mov byte [BX+DI], 0 ; Place the null.
mov BX, CX ; You have to use BX with base-index for some strange reason mov byte [BX+DI], 0 ; Place the null.
; At this point, CX is 65534 - the length. ; I'm not really sure why the extra character worth of fudge factor is needed, ; but it is. mov AX, CX ; I really want to do CX = 65534 - CX, but the instruction mov CX, 65534 ; set doesn't allow that. This mess is equivalent to that. sub CX, AX ; With this, CX is now the length of the string.
cmp AX, 0 ; Check for 0. For reasons I have yet to determine (but jne therest ; which probably lie in the scaling code), zero values result ; in divide-by-zero errors, which is rather suboptimal.
(BTW, sorry if the formatting's odd. I'm doing the best I can.)
