Help for assembly documentation

[ptoulis]

Hi to all,

this is a great site, congratulations to the admins!
To become familiar with assembly I set off to write a program to calculate prime numbers<1000
For that I need to declare loops, make some checks, print results, etc.

I read some of the Izcelion tuts but they are much tied to Windows and the Win32 API.
I was hoping for a structured documentation of what masm accepts as segments, how to declare functions, or a 'pocket' reference to
x86 instruction set.

Thank you very much!

Hello ptoulis,

I think these links can help you:

Articles and Documentation for Assembly Language Programmers: http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/Page_TechDocs/index.html
That is a great site for learning.

And here is the MASM Programmer's Guide in help file format. I think this is a must have!!!

Kind regards,

PauloH.

Hi PauloH,

these were great links! I think it is enough to get started.
Thanx! :U

Segments are mostly a 16 bit issue, 32 bit programs use flat addressing.

Another file is x86eas.hlp, a good refrence on x86 instructions, opcodes.hlp is another.

Also remember MASM32 comes with a number of help files and example programs with source.
