Masm32 v6. News: - MASM32 has been upgraded on a wide range of areas. Tools have been upgraded, the help files are better and have more information in them, the example code has been expanded and the MASM32 library has extra functions. The introduction is now in HTML form and there are more MACROS to use in the macros dir. The installation is both simple and fast and should be problem free on normal computers. The quick start MASM package for win32 asm programmers by hutch. Contains MASM 6.14 & link, asm template, a nice win32 code editor and the latest version of lib2inc utility. The new front-end code generator will create your program's front end in less than a minute. Also the latest DumpPE from Clive Turvey! Highly recommended. With this package, you got all you need to program in win32asm. This package now contains all the include files and import libraries. Visual Assembler by Visual Assembler Team. 28.II.2000.

Supports the i486, Pentium, all MMX and all FPU instructions plus special registers like CRx, DRx and TRx. Direct support for DOS extenders: The DOS extender is automatically linked to the exectutable program. Comes with an integrated debugger and disassembler. Stepping through PM programs is no problem. No limit for the source/executable file size. Supports modular programming. Large Run-Time-Library for basic I/O, keyboard, graphic, display handling. Comes with many example files - now including Vesa 2.0 graphics. GASM by Gareth Owen. 27.II.2000. GASM 0.55. GASM is a very reliable, fast and stable assembler. It is NASM compatable, and will compile 99.7% of programs the assemble on NASM. If you want to do Protected Mode programming, either a plain DOS program, or your own OS, then GASM is the choice for you, it makes Protected Mode relatively painless providing support for commonly used structutes such as the TSS, GDT, IDT and the LDT. You can create a program with one line of code with GASM, GASM doesn't require all those PUBLIC, SEGMENT statements, etc... NewBasic++ Assembler by Forever Young Software. 27.VIII.2000. NewBasic++ Assembler 00.24.00. NBasm is indented for learning assembly language and creating small projects. I created NBasm mostly for the enjoyment and to learn how to create an assembler. ALink by ALink Team. 2.VI.1999. ALink. The ultimate purpose is to write a free and portable linker to go with NASM, which can link all the NASM output formats into any one of a number of possible executable formats, so that the pair provide a portable assembler and linker for Intel CPUs on any OS. Thus ALINK is written in ANSI C, in order to be fully portable. Related links: - Assembler instructions, books and tutorials. - Disassemblers.

CC386 1.85. This is a 32-bit MSDOS ANSI C compiler that comes with a runtime library, linker, rudimentary debugger, dos extender and a make utility. Source code is also available. VectorC by CodePlay. 06.VI.2000. VectorC. This is a standard C compiler that can automatically create highly optimized code for PCs that make use of MMX, AMD 3DNow! and Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions. The optimizer in this compiler is designed to produce the fastest possible code. Set the optimization to 10 and it will squeeze the last few drops of performance out of your existing code. A few extra language features have been added to help the optimizer know when to apply its most powerful transformations. XSCompiler by Victor Prodan. 26.IV.2000. XSCompiler. - Generates up to 4Gb long EXE files - Multiple Programming Languages. C compatible.

Java

Jikes by IBM. 06.VIII.2000. Jikes 1.12. Jikes is a compiler that translates Java source files as defined in The Java Language Specification into the bytecoded instruction set and binary format defined in The Java Virtual Machine Specification. You may wonder why the world needs another Java compiler, considering that Sun provides javac free with its JDK. Jikes has four advantages that make it a valuable contribution to the Linux and Java communities: open source, strictly Java compatible, high performance, dependency analysis.

Basic compilers

Tokiwa by Genji OKADA. 29.I.2000. Tokiwa 0.5.55 (40K). A tiny and fast Basic compiler. Generates DOS executables, supports subroutines; FOR, WHILE, IF, SWITCH constructs; floats math ... No docs at all, only a list of built-in functions and some examples. Envelop Basic by Cimlinc Inc. 31.VIII.2000. Envelop Basic. Envelop Basic was originally intended as a clone and competitor of MS-Visual Basic 4 running under MS-Windows 95 or NT. The project was abandoned in 1996 by Cimlinc Inc and the the product is in the public domain without support. It includes a tutorial but is a " bit much " for a beginner trying to learn computer programming. For advanced programming it supports polymorphism, object inheritance, encapsulation, ODBC, OLE2, and MAPI. Considering it's absolutely free without any conditions makes it a good buy.

Misc. compilers

TurboBat by HyperWare. 13.XII.1999. TurboBat 5.01 (76K). TurboBAT allows you to compile standard DOS batch files into .COM binary programs. This will greatly enhance the speed of large batch files by allowing them to run in native code rather than interpreted DOS commands. The resulting .COM files may call nested batch files without loosing the parent since the parent calling program is now no longer a batch file. Private COMpiler by ExEd. 22.V.1999. Private COMpiler v2.8b3 (71K). If you don't possess some knowledge of programming, you'll still be able to create a good made to measure executable, like a bbs text screen or an advertisement. If you do possess some programming knowledge, you can use this program to upgrade or fix your current programs, or hack/patch/crack others. ( And distribute the .COM/.EXE ;-) For those, like myself, who are to lazy to write the 'almost' same code again and again and again

Misc. tools

Table Extractor by LaZaRuS. 12.I.2000. Table Extractor 1.0 (12K). Table Extractor is a small tool which allows you to convert "Tables" or other rows of bytes from any file into Arrays for the coding languages Assembler, C++, Delphi, Javascript, Pascal, RGH-Profan and Visual Basic. So, this tool saves quite some time the larger the tables get. OpGen by NeuRaL_NoiSE. 05.I.2000. OpGen 1.0 (55K). Generates opcodes for all kinds of jumps and calls, far or not. (Including ASM source). Opcode Generator by Cool McCool. 09.VII.2000. Opcode Generator 1.1 (18K). News: - changed surface - added data format converter - added bit calculator This program is actually a remakes of NeuRaL_NoiSE's opcode generator. His generator had some serious lacks. it was not able to generate short jumps or calls. that is what my opcode generator does depending on the offsets.
