I've recently gotten interested in 2600 programming, but had problems getting DASM to run under Windows 7. Saw that others did too (and despite my searching couldn't find any compatible binaries out there), and a lot of folks had resorted to DOSBOX, so I figured I'd go ahead and rebuild DASM using the latest Microsoft C compiler. The results are here:

Hope someone finds this useful. Should run fine on any current version of Windows, 32 or 64 bit.

Thanks! Once I will switch to Windows 7, this will sure be helpful.

When using this with any bB project I get these errors and assembly always aborts.

unknown mnemoic: 'dcp'
unknown mnemoic: 'lax'
unknown mnemoic: 'sbx'

Looks like "illegal" opcodes are not implemented. This is a must for bB and many homebrews.

I haven't tried your build of DASM Rob, but I'm wondering what the problems you experienced with DASM before were? I using a 32 bit Windows 7 on a laptop and a 64 bit Windows 7 on a tower and never had any problems with DASM.
