;---------------
; USAGE library module, NOT a standalone program
;---------------
; This module provides the routine USAGE_EXIT, which outputs the message
; USAGE_MSG, of size USAGE_SIZE bytes, to the error console; then exits
; the program with error code 1.
;
; USAGE_MSG and USAGE_SIZE must be defined by the user's program!
USAGE_EXIT:
MOV DX,USAGE_MSG ; point to the usage message
MOV CX,USAGE_SIZE ; load the length of the message
CALL EWRITE ; output the message to the error console
BAD_EXIT:
MOV AL,1 ; 1 code means program was unsuccessful
JMP EXIT ; exit back to the operating system
