Additional Readings...
I don't have and haven't seen most of this stuff, but I've come across
mentions of it. This list is purely FYI...

There is supposed to be a DOS 4.0 Technical Reference, but there's no name or
part number listed in the official IBM literature. You might check with your
local IBM retailer. (hah!)

Zenith Data Systems' "MS-DOS version 2 Programmer's Utility" comes with MASM,
a version of the MS-DOS Programmer's Reference from Microsoft, the assembly
language source for Zenith's ANSI.SYS driver, an editor, an assortment of
filters and utilities, and the source listing for the "device dependent"
portion of MS-DOS for the Z-151.

Processor," by Bill Rash. February 1981.
Intel iAPX 286 Programmer's Reference Manual, including the iAPX 286
Numeric Supplement, Intel part no. 210498-003. Has some reasonably useful
example codes in section 4, including ASCII to binary and vice versa on
pages 4-7 to 4-14 and trig functions on 4-18 to 4-23. The programming
style in these examples is rather bizarre but they are better than nothing.
Intel 80387 Programmer's Reference Manual, Intel part no. 231917-001.
Various example listings on pages 7-7 to 7-17, including ASCII to binary
and binary to ASCII conversions and raising a number to a power. No trig
routines in this manual because the 80387 has built-in FSIN, FCOS, and FSINCOS
instructions and generalized FPTAN and FPATAN instructions that make
subroutines unnecessary.
