| Hi There,
How do I compile .ASM files to either .EXE's or .COM. I know I need MASM 5.1 but where can I get it from and what do I do?
Thanks
Nick |

| I don't really know about MASM but probably it's command line based assembler, so you have to use DOS Prompt for inputting parameters. |

| I can't figure out MASM I've got the command line thing but it asks for files I don't have.

From what I know (which is little and ancient ), it is probably asking for your asm files, ie your assembly source code.
Assembly codes, those were the days when .com meant a binary file that does not have the executable loader segment (or something ).  |

| I'm trying to recompile rxdos, I'm basicly trying to make a Nick Charlton.org.uk branded dos boot disk.

| Nick, what file is the assembler asking for? |

| Assuming the assembler exe is called masm.exe, how about if you run "c:\masm.exe /?"  |

| MASM asks for the .asm file then an .obj file then a .lst then a .crf and thats it I only have a .asm

THAT - was an accident, held down shift too early, and now I can't edit it
I'm going to try and accomplish what I am trying to do from another angle
