I personally prefer MASM (hey, if you are going to write DOS or windows programs might as well use a microsoft assembler), I just posted a short tutorial in the newbie tutorial board you might want to check out...I plan on posting more of them by next week..maybe get into how to actually "think" in assembler...::didn't even check to make sure the code in that tutorial assembled before posting it..but it *looks* right..
