Oops, sorry about that. I'm using GMail and didn't realise that I was
sending nasty HTML e-mails.
I'll fix it now. If you get another HTML mail from me please let me know.

it was the line 'regs.eax = 3' that threw me. It took me a while to
work out that AH was being loaded with 0x00 and
therefore the video BIOS interrupt was a mode change. Obvious from the
comment above the code, but I was having
problems with my own code not working at the time and thought
(incorrectly) I was having little/big endian problems.
I've not called a BIOS interrupt in over 10 years. I'm a little rusty. ;-)
