Re: [Freedos-devel] Learning DOS assembly programming

2023-12-29 Thread Andy Stamp via Freedos-devel
A few years ago I wanted to learn assembly (more than just inline or a small example in NASM) and went through Peter Norton's Assembly Language Book for the IBM PC. It uses MASM syntax but the Watcom Assembler was close enough for the examples in the book. It's under $7 on Thriftbooks which I thin

Hello, Fritz pinged me about possibly making updates to fix some HTMLHELP bugs, but I wasn't sure if it was going to continue to be included with the distribution. I'm happy to try to resolve issues with the project if it is worth my time. I submitted a merge request here for whomever is a maint

Hello, I started working on getting HTMLHELP building with OpenWatcom because I don't have access to Borland C++ 3.1 in preparation for fixing some bugs. This was around the same time that Mateusz released the AMB format and converted the FreeDOS help HTML files to that format. Should I continue

Hi Mateuz, This is awesome and something I have looking for while trying to get an old 8088 running again. You mentioned that these images are built in an automated way, were you planning on releasing the source or what tools you used to automate the process? Also do you have a list of what stuf
