needed protection in fasm, the inspection or the source file name is equal target. I happened several times through carelessness to lose the source.

Set your source file as read-only.

It's probably harder than it sounds because you'd have to normalize any filenames, e.g. "./blah.asm" and "blah.asm" and (case insensitive filenames) "BLAH.ASM" and "c:\source\blah.asm".

FASM doesn't force you to specify output filename (anymore) in most cases, but I assume you knew that. "fasm dumb.asm" (using org 100h) will auto-default to dumb.com output.

If you use a simple .BAT or makefile, you won't have to do it again or type it all manually.
