I asked the author of the assembler whether he had a Linux version and he answered "no", but that he thought his assembler would work in the DOS box under Linux. First, is there a DOS box, say, in Redhat or Slackware? Secondly, I doubt that my assembled programs would work in Linux if they're assembled in the DOS box. Am I right? Third, if I'm right, how much trouble is it to port a DOS assembled program to Linux? Is it simply a matter of re-assembling using a Linux-based assembler? Or, can I just flip a bit or something? Thanks, Walt ------_=_NextPart_001_01C2C7B4.ECC8F9B0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 5.5.2653.12"> <TITLE>DOS box in Linux</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">Hi All,</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial"> I'm currently learning = assembly using an assembler in the DOS box under Windows.
