Would you? ;-) Being able to link with OW would be nice. It's not a necessity in my book. It just means whomever uses OpenWatcom needs an additional linker from another source to link .obj's. If a .com can be made then no linker would be needed. Or, perhaps a raw (no linker) DOS exe via NASM as a .bin format could be generated... IIRC, Steve did something like this. Off hand, I don't recall if you did so too in your DOS code. Since a single .obj file is produced, then linking might not be required. I'm thinking along the lines of DJGPP's coff2exe and exe2coff utilities, but these would be for obj's. MS has exe2bin. Is there a bin2exe? If not, is that a restriction of the OMF/OBJ object? I.e., why can DJGPP style COFF's go from COFF to EXE, but DOS style OMF/OBJ can't go from OMF/OBJ to EXE? If there is a sound reason, then perhaps a COFF object or ELF object could be used instead of OMF/OBJ? ... http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/utils/utils_toc.html Didn't NASM have a way to link? I know NASM has it's own object format called RDOFF. >> For 32-bit OpenWatcom, this gives an error: >> >> wcl386/l=dos4g -wx smlrc.c >> smlrc -seg32 smlrc.c smlrc.asm >> >> Error in "smlrc.c" (383:36) >> Constant too big for 32-bit type > > I'm not sure how you got that one.

I know there was some other options in the wiki for the first step with OpenWatcom which I didn't try since I wasn't familiar with them.
