Unfortunately, you might need to lose it anyway, if it relies too much on real-mode code. > I am using MASM 6.11. You should be prepared to deal with some trouble. At least one person reported here problems with COFF output by MASM (like addresses being offset by some small amount of bytes). This option is not used very often, so the reports I have are inconclusive. I suggest to review your code and decide whether you really need to reuse it with DJGPP. It's possible that large portions of your code would not work in protected mode anyway, in which case it would be a waste of effort on your part to tinker with MASM. > I am getting the impression from the FAQ that this is not done > all that often, but I would hate to convert all my code int AT&T > syntax. How about converting it to C? See my other message in this thread.
