Brian, its always good idea to learn stuff, but this isn't the right place to talk about assembly problems. One of the newsgroups devoted to programming would be a far better source, or one of the many web forums out there. As someone said, compiling programs and looking at the code is a great way of seeing how things are done. Thats one of the ways I learned, quite some time ago with Digital Research C, an awful compiler that gave me lots of pain... The other thing you might want to think about is getting experience on a simpler cpu, perhaps the z80. There are tons and tons of documents on it, and I'm pretty sure that you could write stuff and then run it on an emulator, faster than the hardware I had, back when I used them. At any rate, misc@ isn't the best place for your questions. I'm sure there are some assembler freaks out there who would just love to talk with you and help out. --STeve Andre'
