Own Muhammad,

[snip code]

I think you forgot to include the explanation to what the code is supposed
to do and what it does instead (what the problem is). And ofcourse also
what you did yourself to find the problem.

Start explaining with why you are intercepting int 9 (but not restoring it
<-- which just /might/ be the whole problem ....).

Regards,

There's at least 2 syntax/spelling errors in the code as posted, just from
a quick glance.

It looks as if someone is trying to hack together some code from
something borrowed from elsewhere with not much understanding of what it's
(supposed) to do.

Bah, and indeed Humbug.

.... Almost as if the code is an assignment from a teacher who tries to
figure out how much the student picked up from his tutoring.

Thats a good find. :-)

Though I assumed that the posted code was provided by the teacher, to see if
the students would be able to figure out which mistakes where made in it and
fix them (spelling as well as method and missing/extra commands).

In regard to the link, I only see the "scroll a window in the screen" INT 10
, AX=0x0600 call. - which isn't even part of the solution (the result are
supposed to be on fixed lines on the screen).

I must say that the part "it prints your VUID in the ascending order" is ...
iffy to me (just "display 'hello world' " would have done as well and would
not be confusing). On the other hand, it shows that the poster didn't
overthink that part, and just put it into a string (instead of going for a
sorting routine). Point for the poster I guess.
