There is an assembler now available called "nasm" which is compatible with
DJGPP (and Linux and many other platforms) and supports a more normal Intel
type synxtax.  It is available under the GNU GPL and (of course) includes
full source code.  I have used it a bit and it seems like a quality program.

I found it at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/nasm-0.91.tar.gz
but if you search around its probably many other places.

Take it easy,
