    new to assembly

    as ur FAQ says i downloaded the a86 asm compiler or whatever u call it...then created in the ame dir a file called hello.asm... i wrote the following code

    Code:
    	jmp	start
Message1	db "Hello World!$"

start:
	mov	ah, 09h
	mov	dx, offset Message1
	int	21h

	mov	ax, 4c00h
	int	21h
    then saved it...but i write in the command prompt a86 hello.asm and it didnt work...how do i do that? i also noticed theres no file a86.exe .com .something..lol..im pretty new to this..what should i do lol?

    Get NASM. Unlike a86 it's completly free and has not yet failed me.

    Why is there a jmp statement at the beginning of the code?
    "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.

    Because otherwise the CPU would try executing the string. This is a COM file, it doesn't have a set entry point but simply starts execution at the start of the file.

    USE TASM!

    In my opinion, TASM is the must comfortable assembler out there.

    I have to agree with CornedBee. NASM is the best. Its (1) solid, (2) syntax is descripitve, and (3) its free.
    "Can't" and "shouldn't" are two totally separate things.
