I dont know how you guys even considered posting it, but yet its there.. The small portion of code supplied in the document is poorly written. Not to mention the section concerning programming with the FPU, which if anyone actually bothered reading it, will notice its basically a guide for coding software for Pinhole Cameras, and very little to do with freebsd at all. With about id guess 60 lines concerning actual use of the FPU, and another 1050 lines concerning Pinhole cameras. That being said, Can i submit an alternate guide for x86 asm programming to replace the current one? Where do i submit it to? Can i leave it in basic text format, with different chapters, or do i need to edit it with html tags in similiar design to the rest of the Developers Handbook?
