   you can save 1 by inlining 'multiplier':   
      
   cpu 8086  ; show day str l52   
   org 0x100 ; mul inline num   
            mov     ah,0x2A     ; get system date   
            int     0x21        ; al daynum, 0=sun; cx:dx   
           push ax   
            mul byte [multiplier]   
            mov bx,ax   
            add bx,days   
            mov byte [bx+dylth],'$'   
      
   multiplier equ $-2   
      
            mov dx,bx   
            mov ah,9   
            int 21h   
           pop ax   
            inc ax   
            mov ah,0x4C   
            int 0x21   
      
   days db "SunMonTueWedThuFriSat"   
   dylth equ 3   
      
      
      
   --   
   Bah, and indeed, Humbug.
