[comp.unix.questions] Microsoft Compatible Assemblers

bilbo.rick@CS.UCLA.EDU (Richard Petkiewicz) (09/22/87)

Does anyone know of the existence of any assemblers that run on
Unix that are compatible, or near-compatible with the Microsoft
Macro Assembler?  We want to port some DOS assembler code to
a 386 AT running Microport's SVR3, and would be interested in
hearing about anything that could make the task easier.

I couldn't find a UUCP path from our machine to yours, so I'm posting...

I just so happened to have talked with a company called Phar Lap Software, 
Cambridge MA (617) 661-1510 and they have a Microsoft directives
compatable (386, 286, 186, 086) assembler/environment that runs under DOS.  
We are Looking for an Intel directives compatible assembler/environment that
runs under System V Unix.  They told me that they could port it for
us with no problem if our order was substantial enough (not too large
for our buget).  Alas, there system is Microsoft and not Intel directives
compatable and for that we would have a large recoding effort.

Hope this helps!

(if anybody out there know were I can find a solution to what I'm looking for...
 don't hesatate to let me know!)
