You need to put nasm.exe in the /v12/engine/ directory.

You know that documentation thing, it's good to read it.

you need to build the libaries first. They are in a seperate project file. /v12/lib/libraries.dsw

any one else have this problem? i didnt notice this befor i started messing with the vc++ 6.0 And since then i have rmove and reinstalled v12, and even cleared the registry but even on a new install it still like this,,,,any thoughts.

also is there a way to compile this with out using vc or codewarrior? if so how bout a step by step on how to do it vc just seems like a long unnessasary way to do it.

any one try using batch file? if so lay em on me. thanks
