I'm an application programmer (in an xBase language called xHarbour --
a
superset of Clipper )
I have a very old assembly language file (named treal.asm) circa 1991.
I need to assemble this file with MASM32 (which I have on my machine).
I propose assembling this file with the command:
ML /c treal.asm
Then I'll link in the resulting object module (treal.obj) with the
remainder of my modules.
*But*, when I try to assemble this file (which is shown below), I get
masses of errors (Segment, etc)
Can somebody please correct the old usage below, so that it will
assemble ??

Are you sure it's not TASM's ideal mode? It looks like it is, to me anyway:

MASM vs. TASM

If you add these two lines to the end of the posted code:

ENDS
END

It compiles to an .obj with TASM without warning:

tasm treal.asm

Do you still need it to work with MASM?
