     Do you need the () on your external declaration?

     Why use the org line?  That is supposed to be for when you are 
creating a .COM program, not an object file that will be linked into a 
C program.

     It appears you want to run your program both ways.  I do not 
think you can do this.  It either has to be .COM (start:) or object 
(_hello).

Try not using the _ in hello.  I do not in MSC.

     I just hope I am semi-accurate.  This is not my forte!
