Programming in MASM 5.1 I at times write code that requires JMP
instructions that go over 128 bytes.  Not knowing all the directives
and syntax (since I am a bit new at this) I don't know the best way to
jump farther than 128 bytes(+ or -).  I have been doing something like this:


je far_jump_link
.
.
.
far_jump_link:
jmp far_jump
.
.
.
far_jump:


This doesn't look like good programming to me.  What is the REAL way to
do this.  Any help appreciated.
