I've found some old DOS games I used to play, and just so happen to have the source for them. Unfortunately most of them require this to build:
Code:
Watcom 10.6
Miscrosoft Macro Assembler 6.11
GNU (or compatible, such as Microsoft, or Borland) Make utility


The only thing I don't have is MASM 6.11 (I have 6.14). Any ideas where I can get 6.11? Or are they backwards compatible?

From what I've read, they should be compatiable.

I would guess they are backwards compatible; especially with two version numbers so close to one another. However:

The page numbering in their pdf version of the manual is a bit wonky though.

I think their command line syntaxes differ. I'm not 100% sure though... I'm porting Descent 1 to my OS and I just want to get it to build under Windows first (otherwise it's a hopeless goal).

I don't know for sure but MASM doesn't change much in minor revisions. I have ML 6.14.8444 and LINK 5.12.8078 and never have had problems assembling and/or linking MASM sources.
