Here's a console "hello world" using Nasm and Alink - get 'em at http://www.sf.net/projects/nasm and http://www.sf.net/projects/alink This will need modifications to work with Masm/msLink!!!

; nasm -f obj hwcons.asm
; alink -oPE -subsys console hwcons.obj

extern WriteFile
import WriteFile kernel32.dll

extern ExitProcess
import ExitProcess kernel32.dll

section _TEXT use32 class=CODE
...start

push dword 0
push dword num_chars
push dword MSGLEN
push dword msg
push dword -11
call [WriteFile]

push dword 0
call [ExitProcess]

section _DATA use32 class=DATA
num_chars dd 0
msg db 'Hello, Console.', 13, 10
MSGLEN equ $ - msg


I was going to attempt to modify this for Masm, but... I'd make to many errors, and can't test it (Windows not booting, at the moment). As you can see, it isn't too difficult...

Here are a couple links that might help:

http://win32assembly.online.fr/tutorials.html

http://www.asmcommunity.net/board/index.php

http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php

***. I can't even find the "good" links (some of these boards are "at war" with one another). Frightening, how quick a Google search for "Windows assembly" comes up with buffer overflow links!!!

C'mon, you Masm guys, give Gideon a hand with this!

Best,
Frank
