You need to assemble the program with an assembler.  This
produces an object file ( .OBJ) which may then be linked
with the linkage editor.  Some of these .ASM files may be
intended for use with another language, whereby the object files
need to be linked in with the object files produced by your compiler.

If you don't have an assembler, you need to buy one; getting other
languages is nice too.
