My teacher assigned me a project to write a DOS program in assembly. The program should create/remove/rename file/directory and change file attributes. I am using masm611. I 've included dos.inc in my program. The program is divided in two files, 1st is pro.asm and 2nd is code.asm.
//dos.inc

; Syntax: @MkDir path [,segment]
;
; @RmDir path [,segment]
;
; @ChDir path [,segment]
;
; Summary: Creates, deletes, or changes to the specified directory
;
; Arguments: <path> Offset of ASCIIZ string containing
; directory. Must be offset address.
;
; <segment> Segment of path; DS if none given.
;
; Returns: If carry: set, error code in AX
;
; Modifies: AX, DX; DS if segment changed
;
; Uses: Interrupt 21h Function 39h

; Syntax: @DelFile path [,segment]
;
; Summary: Deletes a specified file
;
; Arguments: <path> Offset of ASCIIZ file specification. Must
; be an offset address.
;
; <segment> Segment of path; DS if none given.
;
; Returns: If carry: set, error code in AX
;
; Modifies: AX, DX; DS if segment changed

; Syntax: @MakeFile path [,[attrib] [,[segment] [,kind]]]
;
; Summary: Creates a file
;
; Arguments: <path> ASCIIZ string of file. Must be an offset
; address.
;
; <attrib> File attribute; 0 is default if none given.
;
; <segment> Segment of address string; DS if not given.
;
; <kind> If none given, a file is created even if one
; already exists. Under DOS 3.x, "tmp" can be
; given to create a unique file or "new" to
; create a file only if one doesn't already
; exist.
;
; Returns: If carry: clear, file handle in AX
;
; Modifies: AX, DX, CX; DS if segment changed
;
; Uses: Interrupt 21h Function 3Ch, 5Ah, 5Bh
