Hello,

Never done assembly in *nix / x86, but sometimes I glance some assembly
sources written for *nix and they look weird comparing to what I used to see
for DOS/Win asm source files.

For example the '%' character is too frequent.

Can someone give me a small introduction into the difference and/or a
link/article for this issue.
