    deAssembling

    If I code something in MASM or whatever it is and deassemble it the output code will be exactly the same? And to what will it deassemble? Is there any deassembler that will disassemble to MASM? or to what ASM assemblers? Somebody enlight me in please

    You can disassemble code (try it in DOS DEBUG) The problem is that you will not have such lovely thing like comments or descriptive variable names (if they even existed in the first place )
    "Can't" and "shouldn't" are two totally separate things.

    All questions should be answered. All answers should be true. That is why I post.

    The disassembler disassembles to whatever syntax it uses. The debugger that likely comes with MASM probably disassembles to MASM syntax.

    But it's not a symmetrical process. As DW said, all information that makes assembly readable is lost: comments, variable names, labels.
