(My) fork of 8086 Assembler for DOS (Announce)

posted by rr Homepage E-mail, Berlin, Germany, 26.12.2020, 01:01

Hi!

Because we don't have enough "toolchains" available already, I found another one to create DOS software. :-D

Its very creative name is "8086 Assembler for DOS". It was written by Stephen Duffy in 2001. He first released the source code on SF.net in January 2017. Now I kindly asked him to clarify the license and as he does no longer have access to this SF.net account, he released the assembler on GitHub.com again and put it under GNU GPL v2.

Although this is a self-hosting assembler, it still lacks features and has bugs. I started squashing at https://github.com/bttrx/8086-assembler and also wrote a small Readme.

I know, there are many other assemblers available, many with nice documentation and well-commented source code, but I see this as a chance to me to recap my knowledge about assembly language programming, learn a little about "compiler" design and using GitHub. I also wish to keep the assembler that small. So, don't ask for Pentium instructions support. ;-)

Feel free to try it! :-)

Cheers,
Robert
