Nothing wrong with TASM at all, you're getting advice from LINUX
users. 9) 

It's free and small. Most DOS code you find will be in either
Microsoft's assembler or TASM, not NASM. There _may_ be a switch in
NASM to assemble TASM code (I don't use NASM)? 

AB> I haven't seen nasm around... where might I obtain it? 

If you _must_ try here: www.cryogen.com/nasm
