2 of the 3 MASM samples ?

I had hoped for PESTUB of the emulation DLL's but it lacks those INC files

POASM starts ... and successfully runs through some sources and reports 1'000'000's of bugs also POLINK starts ... but I can't really challenge it to find out what exactly doesn't work

Yeah ... HX 2.14 is great ... no regressions found, many "kernel"-bugs fixed:

another PIT timer fix. Now the timer counter is just read again
if a wrap occured during the read.

The famous PITfall of the PIT

Dysfunctional "fix" with corrupting MZ header of DPMIST32.BIN reverted

bugfix: cursor movement might have polluted screen.

Very old bug

There are OTOH a few bugs and problems not yet fixed ... I might report and re-report them occasionally
