Two solutions come to mind (both of which require other C/C++ packages) 
'sokay though, we all are compiler freaks (*).

(a) Keep using TASM to produce .obj files and then use watcom's
        
        wdisasm -au

    to produce files in AT&T syntax and recompile those with djasm

(b) Get EMX (Eberhard Mattes' extender package for OS/2 and DOS) and check out
    the utility called

        emxaout

    which takes OMF objects (built with TASM, .386 / .flat) and converts them
    into a.out format. That should work. 

Hope this was of help,
Janos

(*)  I got (and use): Watcom C/C++; Borland C/C++ (3.x, 4.x, OS/2); EMX; 
     DJGPP; IBM VisualAge C++. (**) No compilers from MS, though.

(**) These are all full installs. ZIP drives rule. <grin>
 
    So, do I qualify as a compiler package freak?
