An assembler is supplied as part of the GNU C compiler (gcc and g77, the fortran compiler, both provide output which is assembled by it, rather than going directly from source code to machine language). You might also look at NASM, version 0.97, which is part of the distribution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Shupp California State University, Northridge Graduate Student, Dept. of Anthropology http://www.csun.edu/~ms44278/index.htm
