One of the things which I missed in OS/2, was the convenience of
being able to write very short assembly language programs,
including self-modifying programs, without a lot of overhead.
So, some time ago, I wrote a text program launcher that let's one do
that in protected-mode, flat 32-bit address form, in OS/2. E.g.,
"Hello, world" is less than 70 bytes long.
If I may ask... might that be of any interest to anyone here?

To the "purists" reading this: please don't post diatribes against self-modifying code. Some of us are old enough to have been taught
this practice at university, and some even feel it can still have a
place in programming. [end moderator mode]
The flight instructor's handbook again, the difference between
knowledge and understanding. If you don't know enough you'd better
not go there solo?
understanding is on a higher level of intelligence
than learning, learning is a higher level of
intelligence than knowing.
