[Help] Learning win32 programming Masm, with dos box

[irnix]

Okay

Today I will be venturing into win32 api with dosbox and my 8086 assembler, now here is the issue I don't have these libraries they require to create a windows program.

All programs run with dos box and 8086 assembler ran successfully, so I decided to go further.

What must I do to begin. How do I go about it? Has someone here used Dosbox for win32 api on asm should please help out.

Hi irnix,

DosBox is a DOS emulation. You can run, for example, old DOS games under DosBox. That's necessary under a 64 bit Windows, because without an emulator like DosBox, it's not possible to run old 16 bit applications.

On the other hand, with the MASM32 package you can write native Windows application using the Win32 API. I hope you've a native and licensed Windows installed; so you can write native applications for that operating system. The Win32 API and DosBox are different pairs of shoes.
