Bill Magenta has written a 32-bit example program for OS/2 in assembly language and placed it in the Borland assembly language library on CompuServe. The file is called SKEL32.ZIP, and contains the source code which provides the framework for larger OS/2 programs by showing how to parse the command line and make various system calls to OS/2. Even though TASM 3.1 can be used to assemble OS/2 objects, it must be run from DOS. The resulting objects can be linked with LINK386 which is provided with OS/2. This linker is a bound program, so the assembly/link sequence can be managed in DOS. The source code is very neat and is much more readable than DOS programs: no cryptic interrupts or weird segment:offset concerns. -- Kurt
