Probably because the chipset we use is Intel, so nobody thinks you're
going to need AT&T syntax. Besides which, most books are either on a
particular chip or for a particular program (such as Tasm). Intel isn't
going to write a book about the Pentium in AT&T Syntax, and Borland isn't
going to document a syntax their compiler isn't compatible with :(
I think you're right, though, and maybe the DJGPP Knowledge Base should
contain a from-scratch tutorial on AT&T syntax - if someone could be
found with the time to write it. Anyone else have some thoughts?
