Hex to bin converter in 16-bit DOS assembly

You can try this out, get the assembler here. This is just a simple hexadecimal to binary converter, a CS217 exercise and not supposed to be pasted here but just for the sake of having a post. Here it is:



input:
mov ah, 00h
int 16h
cmp ah, 1ch
je exit

number:
cmp al, '0'
jb input
cmp al, '9'
ja uppercase
sub al, 30h
call process
jmp input

uppercase:
cmp al, 'A'
jb input
cmp al, 'F'
ja lowercase
sub al, 37h
call process
jmp input

lowercase:
cmp al, 'a'
jb input
cmp al, 'f'
ja input
sub al, 57h
call process
jmp input

loop input

process:
mov ch, 4
mov cl, 3
mov bl, al

convert:
mov al, bl
ror al, cl
and al, 01
add al, 30h

mov ah, 02h
mov dl, al
int 21h

dec cl
dec ch
jnz convert

mov dl, 20h
int 21h
ret

exit:
int 20h
