Yes, and it has osimplay (newer name for shasm) included, apparently.
I saw this about two years ago and never tested it. Same with GForth,
got interested but never got very far in the tutorial.

Apparently, this is what he says (doc/actualmodes):

	PE=3D0	Dbit=3D0		(un)Real Mode
	PE=3D0	Dbit=3D1		Forreal Mode
	PE=3D1	Dbit=3D0		Veal Mode  (BKA "286 task")
	PE=3D1	Dbit=3D1		Protected Mode

I'm only vaguely aware of FASM using "flat real" mode (else DPMI if
available). But Tomasz (etc.) on the http://board.flatassembler.net
forum would be more knowledgable about this than me (although I
frequent there too). Comp.lang.asm.x86 is up and running again last I
checked, but I haven't kept up.
