I know it may prove painful to you, but you might want to go back and
read
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.lang.asm/browse_frm/thread/f756e47bfe348b79/a64fd996526bdb96?q=ReactOS+Alex&rnum=1&hl=en#a64fd996526bdb96

To spare you the embarassment of having to read a ReactOS developer
trashing you and RosAsm, I'll quote the pertinent part:

Again, you look at things and make incorrect assumptions. Did it ever
occur to you that perhaps they used ".intel_syntax" with Gas (I don't
know that they did, but I can imagine that if you think the code looks
like NASM this might be the case). As you don't know much about Gas, I
can understand why you would make this mistake. However, after being
told to your face that the ReactOS team uses Gas, why would would
continue to claim they use NASM is beyond me.

Try re-reading the post whose URL I've provided above. You'll also note
that you responded to this post, so claiming that you've never heard of
anything about Gas is either a lie, or suggests that you're a bit
senile.

Whatever. Continue to impress us with your mastery of the English
