What probably happens is, that you call the *16-bit* DOS calls in your
program. The 32-bit ones are prefixed with Dos32 instead of Dos, i.e.
Dos32Write and so on. Working example:

----------------------------------------------------
.386
.model	flat
.stack	04000H

includelib doscalls.lib

.data

message	byte	13, 10, "Hello, world.", 13, 10

.data?

count   dword	?

.code

extern	DOS32WRITE:proc
extern	DOS32EXIT:proc

start   proc

	push	offset count
	push    lengthof message
	push    offset message
	push    1
        call    DOS32WRITE

        push	27
        push	1
	call	DOS32EXIT

start	endp
	
	end	start
----------------------------------------------------

DOS ... is still a real mode only non-reentrant interrupt
handler, and always will be.                -Russell Williams
