I was just looking at my old files .. Mwahahahhahah .. calling interrupt 10 .. poof. Whatever I wrote 12 years ago doesn't work in my Intel Core 2 Duo anymore.  It was 386, then 486 .. now it's Core-Quad or whatever.

Here's another one if you like wasting a couple minutes of your life reading this code below just to draw a line from X1,Y1 to X2,Y2 ..
