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?

Rod:

Thank you !

I looked over my machine, and I found a tasm.zip file which contained
tasm32.exe.

I used the following command to compile the treal.asm as follows:

TASM32 treal.asm

It worked perfectly, and I now have an object file with no warnings and
no errors !

So, I guess I don't need MASM at all.

(btw, the missing statements (ENDS and END) were my own Clipboard
cut/paste fault)

So, I'm 'good-to-go' :))

Thanks again for the great help you provided !
