Thanks for your advice.
I do know that 'constructor/new' works with startup codes provided by Borland
C++4.52.
But the thing is that I have to use the one that I have for two reasons:
1) I don't have an Borland Turbo Assembler
2) I don't know much about writing a startup code YET! hehe...

Anyhow... my question is why the startup code that I have would work when not
used with a 'constructor & new'?
Any thought?
