1. This is the note how to compile the *.asm program as *.obj and compile with the C program
2. Tools you need:

   a. Visual Studio 2003

   b. tasm32

   c. masm32

3. Compile the "masm.asm" [Download]with masm compiler, use the following command:

   #c:\masm32\bin\ml.exe /nologo /coff /Zf /c /Sa masm.asm

4. Create the Visual Studio project:
   File --> New --> Project --> Project Types:Visual C++ Project:Win32:Win32 Console --> Project Name: Hello World --> Application Settings:Additional options:Empty project

5. Move the "masm.obj" [Download] file to the project directory, then in Visual Studio Project menu, right click "Source Files" -->Add Existing Item -->
    Select "masm.obj":Files of type "All Files"

6. In Visual Studio Project menu, right click "Source Files" --> Add Existing Item --> Select "vcasm.cpp" [Download]

7. Compile the project solution. Yes, success
 
But it won't success if you compile the *.asm file with tasm32. Its because of the *.obj for tasm32 is OMF, not COFF. [Google for details]. But I familiar with tasm32 and I like it. 
hehehe, let me play around with *.obj file. 

1. Try to reverse engine the *.obj file compile with masm32 and tasm32.

2. ok..the different is the function call. I add "_function@8"with every functions in *.asm file. [View the Screenshot]

3. compile the file "tasm_coff.asm" [Download]with tasm32:

   #tasm32 /ml /m3 tasm_coff.asm

4. copy the "tasm_coff.obj" [Download]into the project directory and follow the same procedure as above

5. Success compile the project solution. ^-^!!
