I believe you could get around the problem of finding the address of the string by pushing 4 (8?)-byte pieces of it onto the stack and then doing "mov esi, esp". On the topic of "executable ASCII", the EICAR test file is an interesting example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EICAR_test_file

There is another known trick :

Place your string after a "call" instruction, then when you are inside the call, the address of the string is on the stack, you can pop it in any register you want.
