JWasm v1.8pre (Announce)

Apparently, yes (from 2000), dual 32RTM/DOS and Win32 .EXE (188k). It must be abandoned (more or less) since the free Turbo C++ Explorer (2006, Win32 only) has it (in DATA1.CAB, and that's a pretty huge download (390 MB), plus prerequisites (228 MB), so definitely not recommended, esp. since TASM lacks some modern instruction sets ... heck, I couldn't even figure out how to install it, stupid prerequisites!!). But hey, old code uses a lot of TASM "quirks", so maybe somebody has a use for it. :-| Otherwise, migrating to JWasm (or "wimpier" assemblers like FASM or NASM) would be better. :-D

P.S. The 32-bit FASM runs fine under x86-64 XUbunutu. Most other simple 32-bit stuff doesn't (no 32-bit dynamic libs installed??), which is lame IMO. Even their GCC/G++ doesn't handle -m32 by default (which I think it should). But anyways, enough of a tangent .... Hmmm, maybe I should try JWasm under x86-64 XUbuntu, but I suspect only a "-static" compile will run there.
