As I recall, NASM does not suffer from GPL... I'm pretty fluent at 'normal' syntax assembly, though I'm a bit rusty with p+ instructions and the coprocessor. I have no real experience in parsers, though.. I would love to see FreeBSD switch to a 'normal' syntax. --- Marius Bendiksen, IT-Trainee, ScanCall AS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
