Enter a Hexdecimal number.

Dwords, using 16 bit 286 code.
By Bitdog

include "GMHD.inc" ; Get Memory Hex Dword, (ascii chars into Dword DX:AX)
include "WDD.inc" ; Write Decimal Dword in DX:AX (code from stackoverflow)

MS DOS couldn't print a TRUE 32 bit decimal number using 16 bit code,
but here it is, in a CALL able PROC form you might find useful.

Does it assemble to the same code ? What OS does it run on ? Suggested improvements ?

PS. if you have a problem with me or anything I'm doing, please PM Private Message me.
I will try to get a reasonable fix for us.

Below is a real example of what not to do in this world.
Seproman decided to act in behalf of his good friend Peter Cordes and straighten me out.
Yet a real friend, will give you a heads up and you can speak for your self. Nobody authorizes others to speak in their behalf because they will be held accountable for what other say, and Seproman didn't contact Peter Cordes and give him a heads up. So they aren't good friends. In his first line Seproman marked himself as a fraud. Peter Cordes name is on every post for the 286 code at StackOverFlow, so Sepromans statement that Peter would have nothing to do with the code I posted indicates that Seproman didn't even check up on what he was talking about before he decided to straighten me out, and post here. Then he didn't even check what I posted to see that I clearly was not taking credit for the code that others wrote. Seproman clearly showed that he was way off base on everything on his first post here. So I copied his post and replied with it in my comment so he could not edit it out and he was stuck with the stupids he said. He then defend him self and stretched it out forever it seemed, but he never fixed anything, he never apologized, it was just one problem after another with him.
Then he comes back with a different name "PoissonMan" months later, is what it looks like. I've had the same handle for 30 years. Only scum has to change their name, but he keeps MAN on the end. The mark of a real man is how well he treats others, when he knows he can get away with mistreating them. Like hitting children when no one is looking. So "MAN" is the one part of his name he should not keep. I tried to contact him on Private Messaging for 6 months but he refused to do adult problem solving, like a real man would do. He does have some kind of mental problem. My mistake here is that I am not familiar with the standard LIE at Stackoverflow, where a person asks a question, and answers it themselves. That was confusing to me, because the only stupid question is one you know the answer to. So now I don't know who wrote the code, but it is worth sharing and that is what I am guilty of. I am curious as to how far this fool will take it, and believe me, I have tried to be nice.

This Version 1.02 fixed PUSH POP DX in signed code. JMP BYTE changed, Print AL or AX added.

I would like to add a word about proper attribution.

You have your program display the text "By Bitdog & Peter Cordes".
I reviewed your files and must conclude that nothing originates from the actual person Peter Cordes, that is active on the Stackoverflow forum. It is a different Stackoverflow user from whom that you are borrowing code snippets (included their comments).

I happen to know (and respect a lot) Peter Cordes, and I think he would be displeased seeing his name mentioned in assembly code that explicitly disregards his many marvelous teachings: e.g. how you validate the hexadecimal digits is so not Peter Cordes.

I hope you do realize the importance of proper attribution, and I also hope you keep up the good work of posting interesting assembly programs. I for one like to read those a lot...

I am going to delete all my crap here except the original post. I can only delete the last post, just as you should delete the last post if you can. Please.

Hay, I wrote you all a 16 bit disassembler and you can have it for free if you want my friend.
I'm just about to post it....

Then you research a bit better first...

The link that you provided leads to a post by someone named Bengisu Adsiz. It has nothing to do with Peter Cordes! (Peter merely changed the title a bit).

The code snippet that does the numerical conversion, was originally posted by Sep Roland in his Q/A at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45904075/displaying-numbers-with-dos. So if you need to attribute, then do so for the original author which is Sep Roland.

Maybe you are using a broken browser, because I can clearly see what is written above the line "answered by Sep Roland".



What you consider an answer by Peter Cordes is actually called a "comment". The actual answer was given by Sep Roland himself. This may seem confusing at first, but it is a technique called a Self-answer, something the stackoverflow site promotes in order to collect well-researched Q/A's.



User Fifoernik merely edited a couple links to wikipedia. You can easily verify this for yourself if you click on the word "edited". It will open up the history of all the edits that the post received. There can be no doubt that the original answerer is Sep Roland and that it is Sep Roland "who probably knows what he is doing."



Please keep it polite! The real problem is that you don't understand enough of how the stackoverflow site works (or else, like I said above, that your browser isn't rendering everything correctly and you don't see every piece of information).

Is this really the hill you want to die on? Just admit that the attribution was incorrect and move on. Even if Peter Cordes did write the code in question, that wouldn't make him the author of this program, since the contribution was completely unrelated.

Looking at the sheer vitriol expressed above, I can see why.
