Stefan,
Everybody has responded saying NASM, but I had investigated this
seeking a decent assembler that would run on MSDOS that could replace MASM,
that I would have source to, for another development project. The makers of NASM
*explicity* state that they are *very* incompatible with MASM. The opcodes may
be the same, but all mem references and segment stuff is 100% different. You should
pull down NASM and read the author's notes.
I think an approach worth considering, but requiring some work,
would be to use an assembly language re-writer (copt) that is used by BCC, for
instance, to optimise assembly source to assembly source. In this way, pattern
matches of assembly input could be re-written to some other assembler input.
