Hi,

   Here is a link to a thread on comp.lang.asm.x86 (CLAX).  See the
12th post for some comments on differing MASM versions..

   I use MASM 5.0 on computers running MS-DOS 5.0 and 6.20.  But
MASM 5.0 doesn't do 486 and above.  I got some errors trying to run
MASM 6.0 on the 6.20 box.  I ended up using a differing setup to
solve that problem.

Regards,

Steve N.

FORTRANS,

If I remember correctly, the last version of MASM I used on MS-DOS was 5.1.  I don't have it now, it's long gone.

Any version of MASM 6.0/1 will do the job, 6 has more macro capacity than 5.1 and is generally a better tool. The 16 bit linker with MASM 6.0/1 works fine, if you eed to create a DOS stub for a 32 bit program you need to get a different version from Microsoft.

An alternative is Jwasm, it has a DOS version, too.   :toothy
