    TinyASM is an assembler that supports NASM syntax and runs on an 8088.
    It was written using Desmet-C AKA PCC. A pre-compiled binary TINYASM.EXE
    is included in the git repo.

    Hi Ben!

    Welcome to ILink! Your announcement almost makes me want to pull my old
    XT from storage in the basement!

    Hi Barry, thanks for the warm welcome! Should i keep my communication
    brief, or is chatter okay? I used to run an XT with two 5.25" floppies.

    Lately i've been tinkering with FreeDOS running in VirtualBox and am entertaining schemes of writing software to integrate the clipboard
    from VirtualBox so that i can copy and paste between DOS apps and the
    host system. I can describe more if desired.

    Peace,
    -Ben

    Natter away! Long ago I had a souped up XT, it had a math coprocessor, a
    20mb HD, and (are you ready for this?) ...VGA! gave it away, which now I regret, but it's like I had so much use for an XT... I did keep the 286,
    but after many years of use and massive customization, I was rather more attached to it. :D

    That would be a durn good function, methinks. In fact if you get it
    working, you might submit it to FreeDOS for inclusion in the OS.

    Chatter away! Your question reminded me of ages ago when I calling a
    local board and as an individual user would regularly surpass the number
    of messages uploaded to that board by BBSs.

    I have the idea. :) Here running a Linux system with a Virtual Windows.
    Used to copy from one system and paste to the other. The 'rabbit hole' (shared directory between the two systems) just wouldn't work. Finally
    worked with Ubuntu 18.04 - much easier!

    I still have my first computers, a DEC Rainbow 100 being the first and
    then the two "Super XT's" which were IBM compatibles, eventually
    upgraded with faster processors and the MFM (?) hard drives to Western
    Digital sIDE's. Plus all three networked. Portions of the Super XT's
    got moved to a 486 -- I skipped the 286 and 386 steps. Like Ky I'm
    somewhat attached to my first computers and they're stored in the
    basement. Last I check a few years ago the DEC had an issue booting; at
    the time other projects more urgent so didn't check into the problem.
