1. Write a program that compares the upper half of the DOS screen with
its lower half and finds the location of the first character-match.

2. Write a program to clear DOS screen using a delay subroutine to clear in

slow motion from top-to-bottom.

3. Repeat 2 above but from bottom-to-top of the screen.

4. Write a program to store the current screen then retrieve it.

5. Write a program to find the row and column of the first ‘A’ on the DOS
screen and save them at Row and Column, respectively.
