compiler cannot find tasm...

[system55]

Just want to ask why the file that I found from this site
http://www.geocities.c om/SiliconValley/2151/realmem.html
When I compile it using a turbo c++ by borland it can't compile because it cannot find the tasm. What do you think is the problem??

Have a nice day...

The code you have has some asm statements. These are not part of standard C (I think) but an extension. Bordand handles this by calling the Turbo ASseMbler (tasm) to compile the asm lines.

Clearly you either do not have tasm on your machine or do not have it in the Path.


Additionally the bt of code you are using is very out of date. It is refering back to the days of 16 bit programming before Win 95.

Are there sites where I can download the turbo assembler?

By the way I also saw a project wherein it included some assembly codes, but it is compiled and never ask for a tasm...

Thanks for the respond....

Just downloaded the tasm.exe, and I modified the path of the turbo assembler under the options menu and transfer submenu. But after modifying it, it does not try to find the tasm.exe but another message appears "cannot find filter tasm2msg". What might be the problem? when I take a look inside the bin folder, the tasm2msg.exe is present.

hope you can help me again...

It's been 6 years since the problem was posted. Just found a workaround :)

To avoid the error, copy the TASM2MSG.EXE file to two locations:

1. The folder where your .c file is stored
2. The folder one level up from bin

Works for me.
