Q. Write an interrupt routine to handle 'division by zero'?

This file can be loaded just like a COM file though makes itself permanently resident until the system is running.

This ISR is splitted into two main sections: initialisation and interrupt handler. The initialisation procedure (INIT) is executed just once when program is executed from DOS level. INIT takes over the type zero interrupt vector and it also prints a sign-on message and then performs a terminate and 'stay resident exit' to MS-DOS. This special exit reserves memory occupied by program so that it's not overwritten by subsequent application programs. The interrupt handler (ZDIV) receives control when a divide-by-zero interrupt takes place.

CR                            EQU      ODH  ; ASCII carriage return

LF                             EQU       0Ah    ; ASCII line feed

BEEP                          EQU    07h      ; ASCII beep code

BACKSP                 EQU      08h      ; ASCII backspace code
