This book also has lots of errors in it, at least in the code
listings.  There are some blatant things wrong with some of
the assembly listings - I think it mainly had to do with the
line-draw and bit-blitting routines for the VGA/EGA.  While
it's maily a pretty good reference, be careful about just
typing in the code & expecting it to work.
