This is really great. Two month ago you have started assembly programing
and now you already have written "various small (<20KLOC) apps" and
some "large and much more complex apps (>100KLOC)". You really should
write a book how to do this (then nobody ever needs AoA anymore).

Hello everyone

I am wanting to learn assembly language and I need to know the best way
to start. I need to find an assembler or ide system, disassembler and
debugger, and some good references and tutorials. I have looked at a
lot of assembly language sites, but I don't know enough about asembler
to know what it is I really want, or what is the best of each tool to
get. I have read some faq's but they are for 16bit dos, I am wanting
to write 32bit windows programs and some linux/bsd commandline
programs.

I have been programming in hll's for a few years, vb, delphi and vc++.
I need to know assembly langauge because where I work are taking over a
project that uses a lot of it, and I've been 'volunteered' to look
after it and 'enhance' it, which I think means port to linux/bsd and
make it a gui app under windows.

I would be very grateful for any help, pointers and advice you can give
to me.

Thank you.

Arjan
