The syntax is not up to me. >From your answers, I still don't know whether using int 0x80 in Cygwin is impossile (directly) or not. If Nasm (I'm limited to this assembler) can't generate proper executables that would work with Cygwin, then what should I look for? I guess that some kind of translator that changes expressions like mov eax, 4 int 0x80 into call _write (with proper arguments) has already been created. I don't know where to start searching, though. But if not, is there any point to start such a project? Do you think it is possible to be more or less working in, let's say, half a year?
