Could the NE and LE formats be added to FASM? I'm wanting to make some vxds and device drivers and I need those formats. Right now I'm stuck with using masm. Sad

Hm, I am sure there was a thread(s) about writing device drivers with FASM. Even, IIRC, Privalov made some changes to FASM especially to make things easier.
Try searching the message board.

Regards.

These changes concerned the Windows NT line device drivers, which are in fact the special PE files. The NE was executable used by Windows 3.11 and LE was executable format of OS/2 and was also used for 32-bit device drivers in Windows 95/98/Me line. Since these formats are no longer widely used I never got any requests supporting them before, and I also never read any decent specification for them. I can add them to my "to do" list, however it's not likely I will find a time to do this soon, as I'm concentrating on adding support for some more future formats, like ELF64 and PE+ for x86-64 architecture.

Consumed, you can always use FASM to output to .obj format, and then use a linker capable of producing LE output. Yes, you're still stuck with having to use a linker, but you're not stuck with masm Smile
