| Hello all,
I am beginning to learn how to program in assembly. Can you recommend a good assembler for Linux and a good assembler for Windows? thanks |

| Keep in mind you're learning a dead art - assembly is utterly useless nowadays unless you want to fiddle with DOS or create an OS. C/C++ compilers have the power to make code almost as good as one that has been made by an expert assembler. |
. As Editor theres well the MS VS, its highlighting everythin n s.o., but there are a bunch of free editors availible on the net, just try to google for them,

| More or less, yes. We all know that C/C++ has the power even for making a (very good) OS. And I think learning asembly helps understanding the computer's architecture better. So it's not a waste of time, but I don't recommend starting large projects. |

| Well, for Win32 theres the Borland TASM in addition, i used it quite a lot and it worked quite fine. MASM32 is a good alternative for win32, used it too, but its MS, so if u dont like MS much, try TASM, .

| ASM is still used extensively on the demo scene due to its high performance, and also by reverse-engineering/cracking teams. |
