It's very simple, ntubski. You can do that in 80286 in protected mode. You specify the segment size in a table, which segment size cannot be greater then 64kB. Thefore displacements, as in MOV AX,OFFSET JOHN, have to be less than the specified limit that is, less than 64kB. If it can be done in 80286 then it can be done in any of the x86 set.

So your program works now?
