(since you've eaten all the waffles...) :)
Hi Kevin,
I'm not quite clear what "it" is. (like Bill Clinton :) )
Is Nasm quitting on you before it assembles your file? Or is your
program exiting before you can see the result? The mention of
"system("pause"); sounds like the latter(?). We can call system() from
assembly, too, of course. Probably you want to wait for a keystroke(?).
How you do that depends on your OS, or if you're linking against a C
library, getc()...
I think we need more information about exactly what you did, and what
happened (as opposed to what you wanted to happen).
Best,
Frank
(Incidentally, click "reply all" to reply to the list - otherwise it
goes just to me. I've cleared your "moderation flag", so your message
ought to appear right away, this time. Sorry for the delay.)

Ah, okay. Nasm is a "command line" utility. That is, at a "command prompt", you'd type "nasm -f win32 -i c:\my\includes\ -o myfile.obj myfile.asm", or so. You can get a command prompt by doing start->run->"cmd" - I think that still works. Alternatively, there's a way to make a "shortcut" to Nasm that will pop up a dialog-box when you click on it that will allow you to enter a command line. I'm afraid I don't remember how that one goes - "properties->advanced" somewhere, no doubt... Or, you might prefer an "IDE" - an "Integrated Development Environment" which will allow you to clickie-clickie to edit, assemble, run, debug, etc. NaGoA was one created for Nasm. It appears to be "abandoned", but still works, AFAIK. http://www.visual-assembler.pt.vu/ (wow! that's *really* looking abandoned!) Probably the most popular IDE is RadAsm... http://radasm.cherrytree.at/radasm/ You can use Nasm with Visual Studio, too, I understand, though it may take more "setup" than with RadAsm(?). I prefer working from a command prompt, myself, and I'm not running Windows, so I can't help you much. Maybe someone who is can give you more specific advice... What you're seeing is "normal behavior" from Nasm. The error message, which goes by too fast to see, says "error: no input file specified". Best, Frank |

Mmmm, no chance of altering files legitimately either, then? > if i download Mac on it, would Nasm work normally?? Dunno. It "should", if the emulation is correct, I guess. Try it. Seems like it might be the hard way... Try it... no harm done(?) if it doesn't work normally...
