No. I happened to choose modules RXDOSMEM.ASM and RTDOSPRM.ASM. With the first JWasm had no problems, with the second there were 3 errors, as far as I understand it's because there's a macro "Goto", which has become a reserved word in Masm v6. Masm v6 also seems to have problems with "Goto", but displays totally different error messages.
