Gentlemen:
    Its been a while since I did MASM work, but I find myself working on a
BIOS project.

    The first quirk I am trying to understand has to do with a command
window flickering while asssembling hundreds of asm files. I am assembling
on an XP laptop using cmd.exe as my command window.

    When I invoke the makefile that starts the assembly, it seems that MASM
& LIB both do a screen clear causing the screen to flicker and all the
messages written out to the command window to be cleared each time MASM and
LIB are invoked. I am constrained to use MASM 6.11and its associated LIB
version 6.00.8168 by the rules of the BIOS vendor.

    Can anyone give me a hint or two that will let me actually keep the
messages coming out from the makefile progress?

Thanks, Charles
