You are entitled to your opinion, of course. http://nasm.sourceforge.net/doc/nasmdoc1.html gas is free, and ports over to DOS and Unix, but it's not very good, since it's designed to be a back end to gcc, which always feeds it correct code. So its error checking is minimal.

Maybe not a GUI app, but I'm sure the mplayer people would appreciate AMD64 assembly code for some of the stuff that is coded in tight x86-32 assembler, but C for other targer CPUs. - -- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson LA USA "Kittens give Morbo gas.
