    Hi,
    how many Assembly languages are there?
    I use TASM, but I don't see it so much frequently on the
    Internet, like the others.
    What are main differences???
    What is the best?

    There aren't different "languages" as such. It's all x86 assembler. There are different Assemblers which have different syntax for program outline rather than specific code. Anyway, I know of MASM (Microsoft), TASM (Borland), NASM (Netwide), and GNU as.

    For beginners, I would recommend NASM, since it comes with loads of help. Also get a copy of VAL. (See my other post in this forum for more info).

    There are as many different assembly instruction sets are there of kind of chips (80x86 differ from 68000. Even 8086 differs from 80386!)
    "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.
