II.1.9 The Win32 Console-Mode Assembler ASEMW
In principle, the DOS assemblers ASEM and ASEMX are also running in the
Windows 9x/NT/2000/XPDOS-Box, but with some
typical DOS-specific limitations:
file names are restricted to the 8.3 format, path strings are
limited to 64 characters, the real-mode assembler cannot access more than
640 kB RAM, and DOS support is getting worse and worse with
every new Windows version.
To overcome these disadvantages, the ASEM-51 package comes with the new
Win32 console-mode assembler ASEMW.EXE. ASEMW is functionally identical
to ASEM, but it can handle long file names and benefits of the Win32
memory management, which allows to assemble astronomically large programs!
Hint:
If you love file names with blanks in the middle, you have
to enclose them in double quotes, e.g.
ASEMW “Test-Program for my 80C32 Evaluation-Board.a51”
