We had assemblers though. The SP0 wasn't all that obscure (in aerospace circles that is). Shuttle uses it, and the Navy's Harpoon missile is using them somewhere.

The DOS loader stuff isn't very obscure. Millions of copies of DOS 5 and later shipped.

Sometimes you simply can't get a commercial tool to produce what you need either. There's some hand assembled stuff in the guts of OS/2 because we couldn't get a compiler or assembler to spit out what was needed.

10001 000 11111

i dont know how to write a program in machine code, which adds up to the numbers stored in cell 11000 11001, 11010 and stores the sum in cell 11011.

any help would be much appreciated angela

for coding anything in machine code we need to stick to the processor what that is going to interpret the machine code. But still i have a doubt how u r going to run this file where u have the binaries. What is the OS u r going to rely up on. Make sure these things first.

OR u can do 1 thing, boot any system with ur own machine code. then dump this machine code in memory somewhere. Then move the processor registers like Iinstruction Pointers, Segment Register accourdingly. So that processor will start executing ur code. that all i can say 4 now.

thx,
Garni

This is not machine code this is BIANRY it is what assembly code is turned into, you need to be looking at how to learn ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE.

This can be written using a simple text editor like notepad and then with a suitable compiler like MASM or similar can be converted into an OBJECT file, this is then linked with a linker to produce an EXECUTABLE file if it is larger than 64K or a COM file if it is smaller than 64K

This is what an 8086 assmebly language program looks like

.model small
.stack
.data
message db "Hello world, I'm learning Assembly !!!", "$"

.code

main proc <--- Start of program
mov ax,seg message <--- Message Seg to AX
mov ds,ax

mov ah,09 <--- I/O function
lea dx,message
int 21h <--- Execute & Return

mov ax,4c00h <--- Move 004Ch to register AX
int 21h <--- Execute Function & return
main endp
end main

John (no clues guessing what it does !!!!!!!!!!!!)

Lets take a look at a simple MASM32 program. Avoided invoke and macros for clarity.

.386
.model flat, stdcall
 
MessageBoxA PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD
ExitProcess PROTO :DWORD
 
includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
 
.data
  msg_title db "Title", 0
  msg_str   db "Text.", 0
 
.code
start:
 
  push 0
  push offset msg_title
  push offset msg_str
  push 0
  call MessageBoxA
 
  push 0
  call ExitProcess
 
end start
.386
.model flat, stdcall

MessageBoxA PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD,:DWORD
ExitProcess PROTO :DWORD

includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib

.data
  msg_title db "Title", 0
  msg_str   db "Text.", 0

.code
start:

  push 0
  push offset msg_title
  push offset msg_str
  push 0
  call MessageBoxA

  push 0
  call ExitProcess

end start

A brief C version.

Now, something you might see in a disassembler(@'s are xx's)

That right there would be 427 ones and zeros, not including another KB of padding, headers, and tables. So unless you're one hardcore programmer, coding in machine code is beyond the scope of convention.

P.S. No one uses binary while dealing with op-codes.
