Probably not. I doubt that Alsys uses the same format (COFF), if it is 32-bit yet at all. > If >not, can anyone suggest an alternative assembler, with good >documentation, that I could use to create a new object file? You could try NASM at . 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.
