Hi -
I'm taking a assembly programming course this semester and we have to use the masm assembler for all our assignments. I installed the dosemu rpm that includes a freedos image from dosemu.org. Then, in linux, I copied everything from the Irvine textbook CD onto $USER/dosemu/freedos/masmcd. I started dosemu: $ xdosemu I moved to the masmcd/ml614 directory and ran setup.exe and installed masm using all the defaults. Then I copied from the masmcd dir the ml614.exe file into the installed masm611 dir and ran that ml614.exe program, hitting 'yes' at all the prompts. Then I edited autoexec.bat and added c:\masm611\bin and c:\masm611\binr to my path. I could compile and run a simple hello.asm program that my professor gave us to test to make sure we had installed masm correctly, and I could compile and execute it. The hello.asm program was very simple; maybe some later more complicated assignment won't work in this setup. Does anyone that understands the internals of this stuff (assembly, dosemu, freedos) see any reason why assembly programming won't work? I'm not trying to make anything real -- just do my class homework. I'd like to thank all the developers on freedos and dosemu for contributing this work. -- My public key: gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.mandrakesecure.net 0x8D10BFD5 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
