DumpMem
It writes a range of memory to the console window in hexadecimal. Pass it the starting address in ESI, the number of units in ECX, and the unit size in EBX ( 1 = byte, 2 = word, and 4 = doubleword).

DumpRegs
It displays the EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX, ESI, EBP, ESP, EIP, and EFLAGS registers in hexadecimal.

GetMseconds
It returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since midnight in the EAX.

StrLength
It returns the length of a null-terminated string. Pass the string's offset in EDX. The procedure returns the string's length in EAX.

WaitMsg
It displays the message “Press any key to continue...”, and waits for the user to press a key.
