RxDOS (Announce)

I have a registered copy of A86/A386 + D86/D386, but I don't use it much. What I was really saying is that A86 has a policy of "no distribute stuff written with it until registering" which I kinda disagree with. That (plus the fact that only 16-bit A86 is available as shareware) kinda puts a crimp on any potential FreeDOS use.

* If you want partial MASM compatibility, use ArrowASM or Watcom's WASM.
* If you want partial TASM "Ideal" compatibility, use LZASM.
* If you don't need compatible but need .OBJ and true portability, use NASM.
* If you want small, fast, low mem. usage, and only need 16-bit, use Wolfware.
* If you want small, fast, powerful, w/ IDE, supports any x86-64 cpu, runs on many OSes, use FASM.

Really, no one's stopping you from using whatever you want, though. I don't use any one particular assembler any more (though FASM rocks and has a very helpful / informative forum).
