Actually, the MASM 5.10 requirement is a "blessing in disguise", because this way some known open source purists will be kept out of RxDOS development ;-)

But the book is a problem. There are only 3 pcs. left, and the price plus the shipping isn't affordable by most people in poor countries (myself included).
