Title: A good assembler?
Post by: zcoder on June 14, 2006, 12:00:08 PM
Is there a good assembler that is like masm so I don't have to struggle with syntax that I can
move too?

I bought Visual Studio, but now MS gives it away free and then puts limits on MASM
so I am insulted, after supporting this company for so long.

What I want to do is move on to something that is not going to make me fight to
hard to learn and something I don't have to change to much on with the existing
code I now have.

Any suggestions?

I have ported many of my small utilities from MASM to POASM.

GoASM gets my vote !
I havent used PoASM and Im sure its awesome, but GoASM, GoASM, GoASM.

Although, if you hope to do cross paltform stuff for say Linux and Windows Id suggest using
the Gnu Assembler. Im using it for multi-platform assembler and it's fine.
