;making simple rasterbars

;was coded and proven to work in Turbo Assembler 5.2 (Cyberpunx RR)
;
;should be compatible with most assemblers out there..

;if everything goes correctly, you should have a blue rasterbar on
;the middle of your screen. play with the values a bit, and see
;what you can do with it... =)
