Hey, Stuart started it, *he's* the sick one.  Here's the
A86 code for DOS:

lea dx,hello_message
mov ah,09
int 021
int 020
hello_message db 'Hello, world!',0d,0a,'$'

Assembles to 25 bytes as shown (hello.com).  Eric Isaacson
is at least a demigod.

P.S. like how I saved 4 bytes by using int 20h? Woohoo! 
I'll bet that C++ abomination weighs in at half a meg! :-D

P.P.S.  If you _really_ wanted to run it on a linux box you
could build it into your boot sector and use a BIOS call
instead of int21.  See John Fine's NASM code called SMBMBR03
if yer that far gone.

Oh yeah, howdy and welcome to the person who started this
thread.
