You only have to deal with MASM 5.1 code ? Boy, are you lucky. I have to
deal with code designed for MASM 6.11c and 6.11d, which uses all these
weird (WEIRD) statements, and is designed to link with coff libraries. It's
impossible to port these. It proved faster and easier to work out how to
run MASM in OS/2 (which is no mean feat, and the linker STILL won't work in
OS/2 because it's a PE-format executable. Can apparently be loaded in
straight DOS by a little cunning skulduggery involving some files from
Windows 4.0, but I've given up on that, it's too complex).
