Do the Even questions from section 3.3.2.

The 5th edition has removed an old Appendix which told how to install the CD-ROM offerings in great detail. In particular there were five extra questions pertaining directly to this here in 3.3.2. *sigh* Here they are:

  1. What command line option tells the assembler to produce a listing file?
  2. What command line option tells the assembler to add debugging information?
  3. What does the linker's /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE option signify?
  4. Challenge: List the names of at least four functions in the kernel32.lib file.
  5. Challenge: Which linker option lets you specify the program's entry point?

Some of the details from the 4th edition appendix may still be found in Appendix A, however, many more can be found at the author's web site under the Getting Started with MASM link. (You may also want to open a DOS prompt and get help for the various programs described there. All should accept a /? command-line switch to display a help screen.)

(It wouldn't hurt if you studied the answers to the odd questions as well.)
