i know how that feels...well i just happen to be quite experienced
with DOS...and dasm is one of those programs that have to be run
WITH a file...try this:
dasm file.ext -f3 -ooutfile.ext
where file.ext is your source code, outfile.ext is the binary file
you want it to be called that DASM creates (no space between -o and
the name) and -f3 simply means that its a raw binary file, no headers
or nuttin...so hypothethcally, if you have a file called invaders.asm
and you want to make a rom image called invaders.bin you would type
the following:
dasm invaders.asm -f3 -oinvaders.bin
i hope this helps and that you manage to get dasm working!
