    There are three interesting assemblers for Win32:
    1) TASM (Turbo Assembler), the Borland one. Tries to have MASM compatibility. I think it's commercial.

    2) MASM (Microsoft Assembler), the Microsoft one. Quite strange allowed syntax, but very powerful (macros etc.) and gives relatively easy access to the WinAPI and even COM objects. I got a free version somewhere, but I'm not sure if it is really free.

    3) NASM (Netwide Assembler), the OpenSource one. Very strict syntax, macro capability, can assemble to 16/32 bit exes or pure binaries (nice for bootstraps). Completly free.

    And then there's of course the cygwin version of as. Very peculiar syntax.

    They have one for NASM (16-bit) and one for MASM (32-bit).

    Download NASM, if not for the assembler, then for the help file. It has a great listing for 80x86 instructions, and it also includes the clock cycles for each one.
    "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.
