Impressive. Does the library require that an assembler ( e.g. MASM) be installed?

No, it doesn't, it's doing all the dirty stuff using the foreign function interface. Harpy just allocates memory blocks and directly writes opcodes into them. One of the goals of Harpy was being able to run generated code without big overhead, like starting external programs. - Dirk
