I read very good opinions about Watcom's debugger (WD) - from Open Watcom package - but not yet tried it by myself -- regards, Zbigniew ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] lfndos crashing...
Is your win 2000 on fat32 or NTFS. NTFS was made to resist coping. I copied xp sp2 to flash without problems. The XP was on Fat32 not NTFS. Later versions of Ghost claim to copy NTFS but it never worked for me. It always failed. cheers DS On Thu, 09 May 2019 16:45:32 + mich...@robinson-west.com writes: > DosZip commander sees the long filenames on the Windows 2000 C drive, > but when I try to copy these files to an external USB > hard drive I run into errors.

FWIW, I prefer NASM myself also. I started out using A86/A386 a long time ago (before NASM and FASM even existed in a useful form) but my source code eventually got too big for A86 to handle. A86 doesn't take advantage of extended or expanded memory or protected mode so it can't handle large or complicated source files, plus it's not free. When I started looking for a new Assembler, I compared FASM and NASM and a few others and chose NASM since it appeared to be the most appropriate for what I do in DOS. All Assemblers are a little different and all have their quirks and different things I like and don't like about them. I REALLY don't like MASM or its clones at all. Since then, I've converted a few of my older programs from A86 to NASM. I started with a "simple" program to see how hard it was to do the conversion, and it is quite difficult. As a result, I don't convert an existing program from A86 to NASM until and unless I have to. All of my new programs I do in NASM. Also FWIW, I still prefer the D86/D386 Debugger (though even it has its quirks). The Debugger is at least as, if not more, important as the Assembler itself. Bret -- Original Message -- From: "C.
