title: Conditional jump out of range in 8086 assembly
body: <p>I'm coding in assembly for Intel 8086 under TASM in DosBox and the problem I frequently stumble upon is getting the compilation error of "Relative jump out of range by <em>some</em> bytes" where my conditional jumps are.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I know that conditional jumps are short jumps but is there any way to somehow... "stretch" them? :) I know I can place intermediate jumps or try to assemble the code so that the jumps are in reach but as my program grows larger, I think the latter option may prove to be less valid than now.</p>
  
  <p>Can I somehow tell the compiler to make something with it or can I somehow tweak my jumps? </p>
