Documentation.

User documentation is included within the program. The usage is very simple, and the standard help command ('DEVLOAD /?') will display the available options. Even if DEVLOAD is invoked with no arguments, it will tell the user how to get help.
There is little need for extensive system documentation in this program. Any person editing this program must, because of it's nature, have an extensive knowledge of 8086 assembly language and the DOS operating system. To anyone with this capability, much of the program will be self-explanatory, and only rudimentary comments in the source code are necessary. However, I have included more documentation than I would usually provide, both because this is performing complex tasks in machine code and it is easy to lose track of register usage, and because I know it is intended to be examined by other people than just myself.
