Still there in Int 21h function 9!
Or, if you want to get really retro, it's still there as:
mov cl,9
mov dx, offset message
call 5
also, fixed length with padding character (FCBs),
also, keeping start and end pointers
I may have have seen it, but I can't recall any software that stores ASCII
strings as 7-bit with the last character in a record having the high-order
bit set. Then, there's the matter of multiple blank compression...
