Use nasm in ports. The syntax is closer to what you're used to, and much nicer than gas'. On top of that, nasm actually has a very nice manual with it, it's extremely readable, and you may find (like me) that nasm's syntax is in fact superior to tasm's or masm's. You don't really want to use gas, because it was never made for human use, just as a back end for gcc, and it's reactions to errors stink. > > Thanks in advance, > > -- > Rodrigo de La Rocque Ormonde > e-mail: ormonde@aker.com.br > Aker Consultoria e Informatica LTDA - http://www.aker.com.br > > --> Turn your PC into a workstation.
