Hi, There is a gnu info file delineating the difference between at&t asm and gnu's gas. Just browse around in a gnu ftp directory and look around for documentation on gas. You can also learn a lot by just looking at the assembly output which gcc generates. Since, hackers is now flooded with deep philophical questions , I vote for starting a new mailing list: hackers-technical@freeBSD.org 8) Regards, Amancio
