Creating Really Teensy ELF Executables for Linux

That's what I loved about DOS com executables. Possibly the smallest program was:

  int 20;

which got translated into CDh 20h (4 bytes!)

That's 2 bytes, not 4. A byte goes from 00 to FF.

I had a friend in college who once coded an entire lotto program ("graphics" and all) into 380-odd bytes. Utterly insane.

Smallest useful DOS program I ever wrote was FF FF, or in other words .. reboot! :)
