I am having difficulty getting the following code

much better, but I have not been able to find a copy. Do
you know if TASM might be able to assemble the following

data: mov ebx,ds:addr ;get pointer into memory ;?????
. . .
data segment use16 'data'
. . .
data ends

AMONG OTHER THINGS, TASM would probably not be happy about naming both a
code offset AND a segment "data"
Strip it down.
Remove everything that does assemble, until you isolate specific items
that won't assemble. You can put them back in afterwards, but right now,
they get in the way of finding out what is going wrong.
