Title: tasm32 download
Post by: NeonFlash on November 11, 2013, 06:33:36 AM
Hi,

I am trying to find tasm32 assembler. Does anyone have a link to download it? I need it for assembling and linking win32 programs for x86.

I found one link here:

http://www.phatcode.net/downloads.php?id=280

But it does not have tlink32.exe

Thanks.

Hi NeonFlash,

You can try the Digital Mars linker, it handles the OMF format.

A Tasm compatible assembler, Lazy Assembler (LZASM) :

Hi NeonFlash,

first things first: Welcome to the forum.

Why would you like to use TASM? There are other, better maintained assemblers: MASM and jWasm. With that tools you're on the safe side.

Hi,

Thanks for the links. However, isn't there a place from where I can get the original tasm32 and tlink.exe files? If someone has it, could you please upload it?

The reason I want TASM is because I have some assembly language source codes which were written in TASM. I would like to understand how they work. Since the code is very big, I would like to assemble and link it, then load it in a debugger like Olly Debugger and step through the code.

I use MASM as well, however since TASM uses a different syntax, these files do not assemble using MASM. I would have to make a lot of modifications to the code.

You may need to read our forum rules about asking for free copies of copyright software. TASM is very old but it is still owned by someone and if we allow people to use this forum to deal in illegal copies, it reflects on us.

IIRC you don't need tlink32.exe - it has bugs and can be replaced by ilink32.exe, contained in the free Borland Commandline tools.

is TASM further maintained? Can one assemble the new multimedia instructions?

Hi Gunther,

Just like MASM is still being maintained by MS, I'm pretty TASM is still under maintenance too.
Just get the trial version of C++ Builder/Delphi, and see for yourself.
I once tried to build my TASM32 distro, but because I'm not sure of the legality, I stopped it.

thank you for the answer. I'll give it a try, because I've a lot of old TASM sources and only TASM 4.1 licensed here.
