Assembly in Dosbox, and draw a line

Last Updated or created 2022-11-16

Below my setup in Dosbox.
(As used 30 years ago)

First install dosbox (Linux/Windows)

download the package with used files and compilers from here:
https://media.henriaanstoot.nl/assembly.tgz

extract with tar xzvf /tmp/assembly.tgz to a directory

start dosbox and mount the directory as C

mount c /path/assembly

Run “a line”, this a batchfile which starts the editor (qedit)
When closing the file (esc – q menu)
It will compile the assembly and write out a executable

This is the batchfile

@echo off
q %1.asm
cls
masm %1.asm;
link %1.obj;
exe2bin %1.exe %1.com
echo READY!

line assembly code
