DOS64 - Switch to Long Mode and Back


;--- DOS program which switches to long-mode and back.
;--- Note: requires at least JWasm v2.
;--- Also: needs a 64bit cpu in real-mode to run.
;--- Parts of the source are based on samples supplied by
;--- sinsi and Tomasz Grysztar in the FASM forum.
;--- To create the binary enter:
;---  JWasm -mz DOS64.asm

    .x64p

;--- 16bit start/exit code
