Nasm is an assembler (used to 'compile' programs written in assembler 
language) that exists in both DOS and linux (maybe also Windows).  I used 
it to produce e3 executables.

My partner wrote a DOS text editor in a86 assembler (similar to masm) and 
would like to port it to linux.  So he read the nasm.doc and modified a 
few things (added square brackets) and last night got his code to assemble 
with DOS nasm to produce a working DOS text editor.

This morning he assembled the same code with nasm for linux and it 
produced a working text editor, but it is in DOS not linux.

What step did he miss?  It is over 2000 lines of code so I don't want to 
include it in my posting.

He would like to use this editor in linux and contribute it to basiclinux 
users once we get it documented.  It does a lot more than e3 in only 4K.
