How comes I still use MASM 6.00B under OS/2? This is the last version for OS/2.

For every person doing device driver programming for OS/2 it is well worth
using C/C++ 7.0 for this task (adding the C7OS2.zip).  It optimizes better
and has much less "INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR, please contact
Microsoft".
