[comp.sys.ibm.pc] TC 2.0, A86

soxy@vax5.CIT.CORNELL.EDU (02/13/89)

I heard someone mention that they used A86 with TC2.0 to do inline assembler
How do you set up TC to use A86?  I can find no mention in the manuals.

Thanks

tcc -E(assembler_name) is the specified way to use an assembler, if you do not
posess TASM (the default).  This option IS NOT available from the integrated
environment mode (tc)

Or, you can cheat by renaming any assembler TASM.EXE. 

While I'm here, does anybody know how to use TC 2.0 to generate .COM
files?

True ... assuming A86 (or whichever assembler) doesn't require itself to be
called A86, as some ill behaved programs sometimes do ...

In the tcc mode, the "-l" is a "pass this option to the linker" compiler 
option.  In your case, use "-lt" (/t=generate .com file) ... no obvious way
from the "environment"
