Would BASM286 work on a 386SX-40 CPU?

I have Visual Studio C++ 1.52 and Borland Turbo C++ 4.5 on CDROM. Is Borland Turbo assemble part of the latter? Thanks.

IDK but my hunch is that you will find the Borland linker (TLINK.exe) but not TASM.exe inside the TC4.5 \bin\ folder.

Yes - it will run in pure MsDos, FreeDos, and any 16-bit and 32-bit version of Windows in a command prompt window.

I've also run it on 64-bit Windows using DosBox.  You will also need a DOS based assembler and linker. 

Borland Turbo Assembler and Tlink were my favorites back in the day.

Just bought myself a pocket 386 device

Would BASM286 work on it? Thanks.


PS Also just found this https://github.com/balintkissdev/awesome-dos
Which should answer most of my DOS programming questions.
