Compiling and executing MASM 32-bit from Windows Command Prompt

[CodeGrunt]

I'm learning MASM and am at the point where I want to start experimenting--you know that happens when learning a new language. the problem is that the experiments will be small. I'm currently using C++ Express, but that makes each program into a whole project with all kinds of attributes that need setting.
Is there a way I can just use a text editor to create source files and then compile and run them from the Windows Command Prompt?

Thanks,
Ken

Welcome to the forum.

You can use Hutch's Quick Editor coming with the Masm32 installation to create source files :

Code Select Expand

\masm32\qeditor.exe

Ken,

That is what the masm32 project is designed to do. Write direct assembler code and build it into working executable files, dlls and where you need it, modules to use with C/C++. It is designed to run alongside C environments and does not use their linkers and other tools so you get no conflicts when building either C or assembler.
