Printing CPU register values in ASM/C/C++

[digitalmythology]

First of all, you fellows really need an ASM forum in this place, so I won't have to ask all of my ASM questions in here. I do tie in most of my ASM code into C++ anyway, but its just disorganized to post it this way. I've been a member for over 3 years now and no ASM board? What's up with that? Other than that, it is a wonderfully great site ... Anyway, on to my question. I need to : 1] print out the value in the AX register 2] I prefer to do it using int 10h, service 13h [write string with attributes] 3] I need to be able to use the basic 16 colors 4] I need to be able to print it onto the screen at any row and column that I wish 5] I can only use BIOS interrupts, so that means 10h for video, not 21h, since DOS will not be loaded yet. In summary, I need to display conventional memory size, and that means using int 12h. However the memory size is returned in AX, and I have no idea how to print that. I have googled things to death, and all I can come up with is 100s of sites telling me that it is returned in AX [duh ...] but how in the #$@% do I get to see AX ??!? If I do not get that, then I get a bunch of hoo-hah about that awful NASM and such. Apologies for all the griping, please help ... Any ASM and / or C/C++ programmers feel free to contact me via Y! messenger @ digitalmythology or via e-mail @ digitalmythology@yahoo.com ... Thanks in advance to all ...

The memory is returned in AX, so why not do a mov to move the memory size from AX to a variable of your choice?

pusha
int 12h
mov ax, My_variable
popa
