Thanks in advance..

Hi.
TASM is probably better to start with. It's also free. It's the Borlands Turbo Assembler. If you still would like to find MASM, try Google for Randall Hyde's "Art of Assembly". On his site you can frind links to MASM. Also, have a read of his ASM tutorial. It's VERY good.

I'd advise you get NASM netwide assembly.

Do a google for "Randall Hyde - Art of Assembly"

Click on the link to his site and on it, you'll find a place to download MASM.
I is easier to get TASM, and even easier to find NASM (it's still an active sourceforge project I think)

I have not used MASM (why would you want to?) but I have used TASM and NASM. Tasm is great for trivial 16bit V86 mode programs under Windows, and NASM is great for _any_ application.

If you're using NASM, it's best to work in conjunction with a C compiler/linker as I found it complicated to build a purely NASM .exe. What you do is simply build a 'driver' program in C, that callls the ASM module. The trick is to assemble your ASM module to the same Object Code format as your C compiler will use. For Microsoft, I think they have two flavours, but I use DJGPP(GCC) and assemble to COFF object file format. Also, your assembly module procedures will need an underscore appendation ( _ ) in the ASM source code module because that's what an MS compiler does to symbols. When I say MS, I mean 90% of compilers that run on MS. *nix does not require this.

Here is a quick example:
Code:


To build the .exe, do the following:

c:\>NASM -f COFF ASMMain.asm <ENTER>
c:\>GCC -c driver.c <ENTER>
c:\>GCC -o Program_Name.exe ASMMain.o driver.o <ENTER>

The above should compile/assemble and link all those modules into one executable. Have fun and I hope I helped.

I agree, nasm is great. But why do you make the entrypoint in C? Whould it not be easier to just assemble your code in nasm and link it with ld from the binutils package. It is a great package which includes all the tools nesescary at http://home.no.net/pusleole, it is called nasmw32.

Thank you

go to www.programersheaven.com
the best would be masm32 download for u
but first u should start with tasm it has got a lot of programing tutorials online.

The best way to learn is learn by exapmles. You can check out www.shareplatform.com for tutorials. They give examples and explained the code of the program simultaneously, side by side.
