I have seen a assembly program written from a book about assemble:
assume cs:code
code segment
dw 0123h,0456h,0789h,0abch,0defh,0fedh,0cbah,0987h
mov bx,0
mov ax,0
mov cx,8
s: add ax,cs:[bx]
add bx,2
loop s
mov ax,4c00h
int 21h
code ends
end
This program's function is to add eight numbers. The author compiled this program in the
DOS and use the DEBUG to see how this program be loaded.
The author use the R command and got that
DS = 0B2DH ES = 0B2D SS = 0B3D CS = 0B3D IP = 0000
And then the author said that this program is loaded from the address 0B3D:0000.
I'm a confused that why this program is loaded from the address 0B3D:0000?
Is this because the existence of the Program Segment Prefix(PSP)?
If the answer is the existence of the PSP, what is in the PSP?
