Hi. I was just wondering if I could ask someone from here to translate a code from C/C++ down to the low level, TASM (Task ASseMbler). Um, the code will be posted here in a day or two, but what I really need is a volunteer to translate it for me. Is anyone available? I don't really know much about this TASM thing.

Alphonso, As long as the code is not too much, I'd love to at least see it. Volunteering without knowing what is entailed is not something I'm interested in doing, but if it's not too much, I might be able to help out. Couple of questions: why do you need it in ASM? C/C++ would work just fine for most things and will get compiled into ASM on its way to raw machine language. Second, are you wanting exactly the same results you're getting in C? If so, you can compile the C into an OBJ file and then disassemble. If you don't have a disassembler in your package (TASM might do that, I'm not sure), you can download OpenWatcom (www.openwatcom.org) and compile the C/C++ code in it and then disassemble. OpenWatcom also comes with its own assembler (WASM). All in all, assembly is fun, but it's a lot of work. It would really help to know exactly why you need it in assembly since this kind of dictates how the translation should be directed. Think of C/C++ as a general (high-level) way of talking and a translation to ASM as a more specific (low-level) way of saying the same thing. As is normal with lower-level interpretations of higher-level thought (and ASM is no exception), there are sometimes _many_ different ways to produce the same results in ASM. The context will determine which one should be used. Give me a good cause and a small code piece, and I'll see if I'm up to it. If this is just to translate something for no real purpose, then I'd say leave it in C/C++. Stephen "Live long and PROGRAM......or at least do _something_ with all that time...!"

G'day, Just a thought: some compliers (ie Borland Turbo C ) have a switch (/s??) that will produce an assembly language file (asm or lst ) so that you can decide how "tight" the code is. Try running your C code thru a compliler with such an option. regards, Elric
