But TASM 5.0 was released in 1996 (since 1.0 was 1988). (quoting the Byte Pointer website I linked above): "TASM 5.0 was exclusively a 32-bit protected mode assembler (TASM32.EXE) for Windows and would be into the future, although it retained the DPMI stub continuing to allow it to run under DOS provided you have the Borland Runtime Manager (32RTM.EXE) and the 32-bit DPMI server (DPMI32VM.OVL) in your path. The distribution did however include the previous DOS assemblers (TASM.EXE and TASMX.EXE) and linker (TLINK.EXE) from version 4.1." Did you explicitly need TASM (Ideal) syntax support? Are you starting a new project or using legacy code? Normally around here we would recommend a different tool, e.g. NASM or FASM. (OpenWatcom's WASM -zcm=tasm does have partial support. For MASM v6 stuff, JWasm is a much better fit.) _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
