If you could point me in the : right direction I would be very appreciative. : thanks, : Chip Kaye Before giving you the good news, I should prudently caution you to investigate DJGPP in the right order : start by finding an appropriate Simtel site and downloading README.1ST and the DJGPP FAQ, or by visiting http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ where you can find helpful guidance in accessing these documents and much more to smooth your way to a successful installation. The DJGPP port of GASP, as well as the GNU assembler GAS (as.exe), is included in binary form along with the documentation in bnu281b.zip, the archive for the Binary Utilities version 2.8.1. While I haven't looked into the sources, they would likely be available in bnu281s.zip. More generally, in the case of DJGPP ports of executable programs, *b.zip files generally provide binary versions of executables, while *s.zip files have the sources. DJGPP makes available 32-bit ports for MS-DOS of programs ranging from GCC and the Binary Utilities to Emacs and Web2c TeX. Happily for assembler fans as well as those mostly viewing GAS as mainly a user-transparent layer of software in the compilation process for C/Objective-C/C++, DJGPP definitely includes GAS and GASP as part of the standard installation.
