Does a86 even work on FreeBSD? The homepage seems to suggest that it's a program written for DOS and/or Windows. Moreover, since a386/d386 are not freely available (the home page has links for `online orders' and `multiuser licenses') and a port does not already exist to FreeBSD you don't have many options, apart from: a) Pester the developers of a86/d86 and a386/d386 to port their software to FreeBSD. Then buy it :) b) Use some other assembler, that is freely available under FreeBSD. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
