We have to do 8086 assembly for my assembly class (don't go to SJSU, ever!) and while the professor himself uses Sparc, he makes class use DOS + MASM (MS Asm). I guess I could and try to run something like bochs to do dos emulation and then run MASM from it, but ideally I'd like to find an assembler that would run under FreeBSD and emulate 8086 instruction set. Or am I smoking crack? Any hints and clues are welcome. Thanks, -- Yan P.S. -- I tried "asl" from packages, but for some reason it didn't work. My understanding was that it can do 8086 emulation. No?
