Hello (and a question)

FINALLY back. I tried it (the a16 assembler) but I'm confused as to what it does... does it assemble AND link the file, or does it just assemble?

well - the assembler is ML.exe (older ones were named MASM.exe)
the assembler generates an object file (.OBJ)
the linker is named LINK.exe (or Link16 or Lnk563)
the linker can take one or more object files and create an executable
the batch file just saves you some typing
it assembles, then links
you should google around a little and familiarize yourself with batch files
