Probably not. I doubt that Alsys uses the same format (COFF), if it is
32-bit yet at all.

You could try NASM at <URL:http://nasm.sourceforge.net>.
But be warned: even if these sources assemble some day, that doesn't
mean, that everything will work as expected. I suspect your old files
assume a 16-bit-model and GNAT is 32-bit, so depending on what exactly
the assembly files are for, that can make a huge difference.
The better approach would be to rewrite it...
Vinzent.
