would work if all you needed was a COM file. You could even use the macro

were a different matter, though.
Now, if you want a small assembler, I've got a copy of DRI RASM-86--the
executable is about 32K. It doesn't have true macros, but does implement
code macros (Remember Intel ASM86? You could add and remove instructions
at will).
(I couldn't remember the name of the little DRI assembler, so I had to take
a look on my bookshelf. Found a 1984 Comdex shuttle bus schedule with the
manual...).

MASM 4.0 was like a breath of fresh air.
Reasonably fast and not too
buggy.
Any TASM memories?
