subject: Assmebler for OS/2?

DB> Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You get one if you buy Watcom C++ or Borland C++ for OS/2.  Then
you can choose:

1. Borland C++ for OS/2 is the buggiest C compiler ever devised,
however I can't see anything wrong with their assembler, and their
assembler actually has documentation.

2. Watcom C++ for OS/2 is a good C compiler, however their
assembler comes with virtually no documentation at all, pretty
useless unless you already have some mysterious documentation
(mysterious because they just say that you have to learn
assembler yourself, but they don't say which assembler they
conform to - presumably they aren't talking about Borland's
ideal mode).

BFN.  Paul.
