The MASM fatal error "Unable to open input file: options.ASM" occurs
when the MASM environment variable "MASM" is set to "options". After
the variable has been set to "options", it needs to be cleared. This
can be done as follows:
SET MASM=<ret>
When the Runme program is executed to install MASM, it tells you
to set your AUTOEXEC.BAT file as follows:
MOUSE (load mouse driver if you have a mouse)
SET PATH=d:\masm... (directory containing MASM and utilities)
SET INCLUDE=d:\masm...(directory containing include files)
SET LIB=d:\masm.... (directory containing library and object files)
SET MASM=options (standard assembly options)
SET LINK=options (standard link options)
SET TMP=tempDir (LINK work directory - use RAM disk if available)
People often set their AUTOEXEC.BAT files literally as the Runme program
shows.
