Hello everybody! I come from China, I am glad to be here, I like FASM;

Question:
I want to delete the compiler 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode.', This did not use the character, reducing the bulk.

You have to create your own smaller MZ stub (DOS com or exe) and to use following format directive:
Code:
format PE GUI 4.0 on "yourstub.exe"

Actually, I'm pretty sure Tomasz said you could just do this for no stub at all :

Code:
format PE on "NUL"
    


Although, let's be honest, is this really saving anything??? Isn't the PE file aligned anyways?? So I doubt you save much, if anything.

Besides, it's already dumb and useless enough. The only true advantage with such a default is that it doesn't just blindly crash in DOS (which admittedly is rare these days). I almost wish we had a nice small DOS tool that at least did something useful that we could embed in its place. (But what could you cram that wouldn't be too big but would still be universally accepted as useful? Game? Unzipper? Text editor? I know I know, web browser, but that's ridiculous. So I dunno ....)
