I input the code and now i should create an .obj file, but for some reason the command prompt is not working. after i edit the source code i tried to create the obj. file an i input this but is not working C:\src\assem>masm first; and it says that is not recognized as an external or internal command can you help me or let me know what to do to fix this problem.

Answer 1

You need to have microsoft assembler installed for this to work. You can also use Turbo Assembler from Borland.

Answer 2

type: cd: c:/src/assem/           then then type that first masm; or whatever
