14.1  ASMLIB PROGRAMMER'S TOOLKIT, VERSION 4.0

Douglas Herr's shareware assembly language library.  This library is
available from SimTel.

    ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutl/asmlib40.zip

The zip file contains only the medium model of the library.  There are
405 assembly subroutines in a .lib file and documentation.  Source code
is available with registration and extra fee.  The library covers the
following areas:
    string/integer data manipulation        screen mode subroutines
    text-mode multi-window subroutines      disk & file subroutines
    text-mode video subroutines             EMS and XMS subroutines
    floating-point subroutines              graphics
    keyboard input subroutines              mathematical solutions
    subroutines which determine PC status

asmlib40 also comes with an editor, E16, written entirely with asmlib.

Improvements since version 3.7 is auto-sizing of the near heap in the
startup code.  There have been some incremental improvements including
32k-color graphics and virtual graphics screens.

14.2  THE ASSEMBLY WIZARD'S LIBRARY, VERSION 2.1

This is Chris Walker’s shareware assembly language library.  This
library used to be Thomas Hanlin's.

    ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutl/asmwiz21.zip

This library comes with documentation and one .lib file that supports
small and tiny memory models.  Source code is available with
registration. The library covers the following areas:

    Base Conversions        Mouse Services
    Exception Handling      Sound and Music
    Delays and Countdowns   String Services
    File Handling           Telecommunications
    Filename Manipulation   Time and Date
    Keyboard Services       Video Services
    Long Integer Math       Miscellaneous Services
    Memory Services

14.3  UCR Standard Library for Assembly Language Programmers

This library is written by Randall Hyde and others.  This library is
available from many sites but most of them are seriously out of date.
You can get the latest version at:

    http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/Page_asm/RHUCRLib.html

Unlike the previous libraries, there are no registration fees and the
included source code is released to the public domain.  The author does
request that if you use the library, you contribute at least one routine
to the library.

    Standard Input Routines     Character Set Routines
    Standard Output Routines    Memory Management Routines
    Conversion Routines         String Handling Routines
    Utility Routines

14.4  ALIB Version 4.0

ALIB is Jeff Ownens' shareware assembly language library.  This library
is available from SimTel.

    ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutl/alib40.zip

Similar to the UCR library described above, registration fees are not
requested.  The library consists of over 400 assembly source files
covering the following areas:

    compress    - data compression and expansion
    config      - program configuration, colors, paths, etc.
    compare     - compare strings
    convert     - hex/decimal/ascii conversions
    database    - simple database functions
    disk        - disk information, path changes, file searches
    display     - fast display functions, write to display memory
    error       - error handlers
    float       - simple floating point math package
    math        - dword math, crc, roots
    memory      - memory manager, extended, xms, ems, conventional
    menu        - menuing system
    message     - messages in windows on screen
    misc        - misc routines
    mouse/key   - mouse and keyboard functions
    parse       - extraction of parameters from command line
    random      - random number generators
    search      - search for character or string
    sort        - sort buffer or file
    sound       - sounds
    string      - ascii string handling
    stdout      - characters, strings, spaces to stdout
    system      - system interrogation and setup
    time        - time and date conversions

Also included are 15 sample programs.

14.5  FREELIB, Version 3.0

Freelib v3.0 is a library of 200 routines that may be useful for
assembly language programming.  Freelib includes routines that do many
of the tasks that make assembly language difficult - like buffered file
I/O, formatted string output, memory allocation, etc.  Also includes
16.16bit fixed point arithmetic, text screen output (EGA 80x25 or VGA
90x34), and VGA graphics in both 16 and 256 colors.  All routines are
highly optimized for size and speed, and average only 60 bytes each.
Full source code and documentation is included for all routines.
Freelib is public domain software, free for non-commercial use.  The
library is available from SimTel:

    ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutl/freeli30.zip
