MP Practical 12

This document contains assembly code for a program that reads a text file and counts the number of blank spaces, lines, and occurrences of a specified character ('e'). It utilizes DOS interrupt calls to open and read the file, and an external procedure to perform the counting. The results of the counts are displayed at the end of the execution.
