Difference???

[InLove]

Hey everyone,

I love the assembler language, although I am still learning it. What I want to know is what is the difference between Tasm and Masm? I like Tasm and was told by numerous programmers that it's the one to go for (the pick of the bunch), but there is a lack of tutorials and source code. So I opted for Masm thinking there really isn't much of a difference...   :red

Matt,

TASM has been a good assembler in its time but its time is over. It is no longer supported by Borland and MASM is a lot more powerful. You could also look at a few others that are well written, FASM, GoAsm and NASM.

Masm is alive and updated, Tasm is not, their syntaxes are similars, masm is easier to operate, imho.

Personally i use Nasm for it's ability to produce binary files and it's incbin command which is handy, it's syntax is slightly different from the former ones, tho.

There's mostly only one kind of people using tasm.

Masm is alive and updated,

Not if M$ has it's way.  There is not going to be a 64 bit version that's worth much.

Give 'em time, I have seen versions of ML in the past that were genuine lemons as it was being changed for later OS versions but they tend to get it right later on as they always end up needing it themselves. 6.11c was a disaster and somewhere I have seen a Microsoft cooked version of ML 6.2 or 6.3 that was a shocker as well.

I used to be that sort of person  :dance:  :lol  :U

I like Masm although all my fellow peers tell me it sucks, but hey that's there opinion.
