Assembly - Fatal:no program entry point

I tried following code in Borland Turbo Assembler 5.0

Code:

 .MODEL SMALL; 
 .STACK; 
 .CODE; 
 mov ah,1h; 
 mov cx,07h;
 int 10h;
 mov ah,4ch;
 int 21h;
 END;

It assembled fine with no errors but when I tried to link it with tlink, it gave a fatal error saying "Fatal:no program entry point"

Read the manual help to see what that error means.

Search the web with the text of your error message. You will not be the first ever person to see that message.

Maybe

Code:

 .global start;
 .CODE; 
start:
 mov ah,1h;

Though you might have to read up on
- the syntax of the pseudo-op which introduces global symbols
- the syntax of how symbols are specified
- the actual name of the default entry point.
All of which are somewhat assembler specific.

Thanks.
Adding

Code:

start: 
......
end start;

solves the problem.
