I am currently reverse engineering a piece of 16-bit software (originally written in C/C++ from what I can gather).

I have identified a function that seems to print text to the console. The text to be printed is passed into the function as a parameter, however Ghidra doesn't seem to be handling the strings properly.

The function is decompiled as follows:

The assembly for this function is:

So Ghidra picks up on the string, however when I attempt to double-click it (to go to it's relevant location), the following error appears:

This is making identifying where strings are utilised extremely hard, as I cannot search for where a string is utilised within the program's code.

I also seem to be getting a lot of global variables names like this in the disassembly:

And when I go to rename them, I get the following error:

I have no idea if these two issues are related or not?

Any suggestions?

Thanks, James.
