.STARTUP
   Directive Summary  Summary  Example
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
  Syntax:  .STARTUP
 
  Generates startup code for the given model and stack type (default is
  nearStack) defined by .MODEL. Initializes DS, SS, and SP as needed.
  Defines a start-address label, so that you don't need to give a start
  address with END. Use only for stand-alone programs.
 
  With TINY model, .STARTUP also generates ORG 100h.
 
  If you use the .STARTUP directive, you should also use the .EXIT
  directive at the end of the program. Otherwise, the assembler
  generates an advisory warning.
 
   See Also:  .MODEL, END, ORG, .EXIT
