Lines: 43 Message-ID: <5u0290$b4n$1@vnetnews.value.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: value.net To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp Precedence: bulk This message is just to express appreciation for an exciting new introduction by Jim Schwarz to 80386 architecture and assembly language programming with DJGPP GAS, the GNU assembler (as.exe): http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/ug/asm/about-386.html As someone interested in learning GAS as my first experience with assembly language, I found that this tutorial got me to the point where I was ready to try writing a bit of inline assembly. What a great surprise to find such a valuable new resource at just the moment I was looking for it! This introduction to the 386 architecture is only the first installment of a work still in progress: the assembly language portion of the DJGPP User's Guide available -- where else? -- at DJ's site: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/ug/ Also, there are two other DJGPP tutorials on GAS (AT&T) syntax which I'm finding very helpful as a rank novice, although they assume some experience programming with the Intel syntax (e.g. TASM, MASM). The first is the famous guide by Brennan "Bas" Underwood: http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp/djgpp_asm.html The other is one of a series of DJGPP tutorials by avly AT castle DOT net: http://www.castle.net/~avly/djasm.html Of course, I don't want to minimize the helpfulness of GNU's own GAS documentation: info as More generally, the DJGPP User's Guide looks like a great resource for newer DJGPP users; it takes things step by step, and nicely supplements the information in README.1ST and the FAQ.
