Binutils has changed the behavior of 16bit assembler between 2.9.1
and 2.9.1.0.x, and we support only 2.9.1.0.x and higher. It is

particular, we recommend using binutils 2.10, since it is the only
public release that supports real 16bit mode. Please taka a look at
the webpage <http://sourceware.cygnus.com/binutils/>, for more
information. Note that you don't have to install it into any system
directory. See the section "Operation Controls", if you want to
install binutils into your own directory.

When you encounter a problem or a bug, first of all, read the chapter
"Reporting bugs" in the document. Very often, people ask us their
questions with little (or no) information about their systems. That's
quite useless, because we have to *guess* what you did, what was
displayed and what really happened. Please notice that we may not see
your computer directly. So, whenever you report a bug, you must include
enough information so that we can understand what happened and even
reproduce your problem in our machines.
Once you have realized how to write a bug report, please submit it to

as much as possible. For example, your operating system and the
geometries of your drives are very important.
