TASM V5.0 Installation and Precautions

Installation Tasm 5.0 is very simple, you only need to download the [relevant tools] in the "Tasm50.zip" file, after decompression in windows9x/nt under the implementation of "INSTALL." EXE "to start the installation.

1. If you install TASM5.0 after installing Delphi 1.0 or Borland C + + 4.x and higher, you need to manually change the system settings so that these products can coexist in the same system-check the "System.ini" file [386Enh] Whether there are multiple tddebug.386 drivers in the section. Remove the extra tdebug.386 items to ensure that only this version of the tddebug.386 is loaded. This can be done by checking the [386ENH] section to confirm that if TASM 5.0 is installed and not changed, manually add in the [386Enh] section of the System.ini file:

The device=c:\tasm\bin\windpmi.386--supports TASM5.0 32-bit tools.

device=c:\tasm\bin\tddebug.386--supports our debugger.

2. Configure the Windows NT command line prompt (equivalent to windows9x MS DOS)

To run a 16-bit protection program such as Tlink at the NT command-line prompt, you need to add one line to the Config.nt file, as shown in the following:

Ntcmdprompt

3. Customize the installation of TASM5.0 when the option:

16-bit command line tools [3085K]

Install the 16-bit tool (TASM, tlink, etc.), which is also the default option for minimizing installation. (not recommended for installation)

32-bit command line tools [3163K]

Install 32-bit tools (TASM32, TLINK32)

Turbo Debugger for DOS [1041K]

Install the DOS debugging tool for Turbo, and also the default option for minimizing the installation. (not recommended for installation)

Turbo Debugger for Windows [1533K]

Install the Windows Debugging Tools for turbo and other related debugging tools.

Turbo Debugger for Win32 [1502K]

Install Turbo's WIN32 program debugging tools.
examples [580K]

Installs the Borland tasm routines.

4. How to run TASM32 and other 32-bit tools under WINDOWS9X/NT

TASM5.0 Setup sets up the TASM5.0 group under Windows Program Manager, but it does not create the appropriate PIF files for tools that run at the command-line prompt. Tasm. EXE and other 16-bit executables do not require special PIF files to run in the regular Windows MS-DOS mode. However, to run a 32-bit tool such as TASM32 from Windows MS-DOS, you need to create a corresponding PIF file for it. The easiest way to do this is to use B32TOOLS.PIF (under the Tasm\bin directory) to run these 32-bit tools in Windows MS-DOS mode-double-clicking B32TOOLS.PIF under Windows activates a DOS window. You can then run the 32-bit tools, such as TASM32.EXE and TLINK32, under it.
