He, hee! Mmmm, I just looked at the Nasm "man" page... it's pretty well
out of date (they should fix that!). In particular, the last
"restrictions" section contains some statements that are no longer true
(-l for listing file, -g for symbolic debug info, ...) Doesn't include
an instruction set reference, anyway...

The full Nasm manual *does* include an instruction set reference. The
shortest download, AFAIK, is to download the entire source, get into the
doc/ directory, and do "make". The "docs" download includes the whole
shebang in multiple formats, and is huge. (I don't know what debian
includes in the distro - I assume just the man page?)

The "front door" at nasm.sf.net is still broken - find us at:

http://www.sf.net/projects/nasm

The Intel/AMD manuals remain the "official" source for instruction set
info, of course...

You probably know this, but while we're on the subject, the sys_calls
are "man 2" - "man write", for example, is *not* what you want - "man 2
write" is...

Happy penguin-pokin',
