You have the wrong list, sonny. If you want to write a phone-dialler for your
toy, go ask on comp.sys.msdos.programmer. This list is for mainframe systems.
Any decent bookshop will be able to show you a shelf full of MS-DOS assembler
programming books.

(If you really do want to write a phone-dialler for a 370 mainframe, you have
my admiration. But such people do not usually post from demon.co.uk.)
