; Basic little bitty program for people learning about the different modes
; you can stick on your monitor.  This program will put you into 80*50 on a
; VGA monitor, and should be 80*43 on an EGA monitor (I dunno, haven't tested
; it.)  Anyways, I tried to comment it so someone not knowing asm would be 
; able to understand it.
