Title: translating from HLA, TASM, etc. to MASM
Post by: Corky on June 13, 2005, 03:33:55 AM
I hope this isn't a dumb or frequent question, but are there any tools for translating HLA or TASM to MASM?  Any documents describing the correspondences?

I'm just getting started with assembly language and am a bit bewildered by all the different syntaxes used in the available samples.

Corky,

While you are learning you tend to stick to one or the other. HLA is alive and well and MASM has massive support but TASM is no longer supported so I would not recommend it.

There is little chance of getting a tool that will convert from one to another but when you have a bit more practice, you can probably do it yourself. TASM to MASM is a lot easier if you know both of them.

HLA translates to MASM!
Compile any hla program (with ML) and look for the .asm files.
