Since I have to access a PCI device that is memory mapped using full
32 bit addressing, I have to convert an old dos program from 16 bit
mode to 32 bit mode. This program was used on a 16 bit ISA device.

Converting our program was not too difficult. My problems, is that the
program used the TCXL library. This library has a lot of assembly code
written in Microsoft Assembler.

I had RHIDE create a makefile so that I could see what assembler it
was using. It was using the NASM program. That program was not in my
DJGPP package. 


Questions:
Where do I get the nasm assembler that will assemble my .asm files?

Is this assembler compatible with MS assembler (Intel syntax)?

I'm I screwd?
