I am currently developing a project using the Intel 80188 development kit
(i.e., the 186 ICE, and the ASM386 assembler) and I am extremely frustrated
with the aaggoonniizziinngg, slow compile time of their product.

In comparison, Turbo assembler zips along compiling the 80188 code, and will
produce a .obj file much much faster than Intel's ASM.

Problem: Apparently, the TASM (and thus MASM, err, vice-versa) .obj file is
not compatible with the Intel ASM's .obj file.  Is there a way around that?
(Like a format converter, if such a beast exist)

And if not, is there a way to take TASM's .obj output and convert it into a
pure binary code devoid of the debug/label/relocation information?  (By the
way, I will ORG the code at a specified memory location)

At worst, I may just decide to download the test program in 'shadow ram' by
overlapping my Boot ROM with some static RAM.  >sigh<

Thanks in advance to everyone.
