Re: Cross-assembler : HLASM --> 8086



I'm curious about the need to produce Intel object code. Put a different way, why won't Tachyon work for you? Or z390? Or Hercules? Or any of the other suggestions given? Is this critical code? If so, why not write it in Intel machine language? If not, any of these will do. Most of all, though, the notion of mapping machine instructions between z and Intel gives me a headache ...

Hi,

Does anyone know of a product that will take HLASM source and produce object or executables for the wintel platform?

I'm aware of tachyon and dignus (even pc370!) which can take HLASM, assemble/link, and emulate the execution on wintel, but I want native '8086' (or whatever it's called) output (I guess that source or object output would be okay).

The code is 'pure' HLASM (number-crunching, not accessing any MVS services), so it shouldn't need to handle many environment issues (other than passing parameters in, and getting the response out).
