From: messianic light on 23 Jan 2008 20:13 I have used nasm on 2 computers, but I am looking for professional resources what is best asm programming package for pentium and above? does pentium asm code correlate with AMD processors? thanks in advance

RosAsm. Or HLA. Or maybe Gas. A highly contentious question, around here! Depends a lot on what you want to do with it. Your posts in c.l.a.x. indicates you want to write a 64-bit GUI OS... as soon as you figure out how to plot a pixel in mode 13h. I think if you ask in a.o.d., they'll tell you to write it in C - gcc, probably - load it with GRUB, and skip the nitty-gritty stuff. However, it sounds like you *want* to get into the nitty-gritty stuff. For that, I honestly don't think you can do too much "better" than Nasm. > does pentium asm code correlate with AMD processors? Generally, yeah. There are a few exceptions - I'd consider them fairly "exotic". For an OS, though, identifying the CPU is probably one of the first things you'll want to do, so you'll be learning all the gory details as you go along... Did you get that pixel plotted? Best, Frank
