C'mon, you Masm guys, give Gideon a hand with this!


What? Perhaps help like this, "MASM the hard way":

LNK563.EXE contains LINK.EXE and CVPACK.EXE for Visual C++ version 1.52.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Update/1/WIN98/EN-US/Lnk563.exe
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/LNK563.EXE

BINS_DDK.EXE contains EXE2BIN.EXE as Bin_win98_exe2bin.exe (and possibly
other stuff...)

http://www-static.cc.gatech.edu/computing/classes/AY2002/cs4455_spring/Asst2Files/BINS_DDK.EXE
(Unfortunately, I couldn't find a valid MS site link for this... I did find
another link to a site in the .ru domain, but the file appeared to be bad.)

ML611D.EXE contains ML.EXE v611_D, final DOS version of ML.EXE
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/ML611D.EXE

ML612.EXE contains update from ML611D.EXE to Windows ML.EXE v6.12
ML613.EXE contains update from ML611D.EXE to Windows ML.EXE v6.13
ML614.EXE contains update from ML611D.EXE to Windows ML.EXE v6.14
(ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/)
(these aren't needed for a Windows version of ML.EXE since VCPP5.EXE has the
newest Windows version)

ML614.EXE contains WIN.INC
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/ML614.EXE

VCPP5.EXE contains Windows ML.EXE v6.15, ML.ERR, H2INC.EXE, H2INC.ERR

http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60ent/Update/6/W9X2KXP/EN-US/vcpp5.exe

NMAKE15.EXE contains NMAKE.EXE and NMAKE.ERR

MASM 6.1 Programmer's Guide as complete PDF

MASM 6.1 Reference as complete PDF
http://ece.uprm.edu/~mtoledo/4206/Reference.pdf

There are a number of non-MS sources for these (you search):
DOSXNT.EXE
DOSXNT.386

I'm not sure if they can be found in one of the files in the mslfiles
directory. The version of DOSXNT.EXE that I have doesn't match the ones on
the net... ?!?! Okay, where did it come from?

(How hard is it for MS to just leave this stuff hanging around on an ftp
server for decades?)
