Hope I didn't imply "not very correct" in any mundane syntactic sense. :) The transformations between Intel and AT&T syntax can really be expressed in about a dozen rules, and there are sed and awk scripts around that do a fairly reasonable job of automatic translation. The Intel 80386 manual is available from various places (except Intel) in text format, so it shouldn't be too difficult to do an AT&T-flavored manual, if anyone thought this worth the bother. I've never found GNU assembler syntax to correspond terribly closely to that of the AT&T assemblers I've used, though. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
