This board Very Happy

I suggest you something:

0. Download fasm for win32 GUI distribution.
1. Start reading fasm help from the beginning.
2. While reading, imagine that you don't know any other computer language.
3. Resist to the temptation to do comparisons between this language/assembler and others. At least for now.*
4. Read the examples in fasm folder and examples attached to this forum.
5. Modify some of them, add your ideas on them.
6. Read the macros in fasm include folder, specially stdcall.inc, struct.inc and so on.
7. Give a quick look at equates folder, not that Menuet needs it but however is a good farm for ideas.
8. Download Fresh and read sources.
9. Start coding of your own and join existing projects.

Best wishes,
pelaillo

*- Believe me: fasm is the best assembler for x86 available.

I think this need some explanation. At first glance, FASM looks very simple and some programmers (especially those used to MASM and TASM) gather the imression that this means lack of features.
But it is only at first glance.
Actually FASM demonstrate huge power, reached with very clear and well measured set of directives and features.
Almost everyone that have a patience to learn more about FASM, simply can't write on other languages anymore. Smile

Regards

Thanx for the replies everyone Very Happy


Right now I am learning "TrueBASIC" Laughing...I know.

I am lovin menuet and the consept of assembly language.

Let me get this strait. If I learn FASM now, you think I will think that all other languages are inferior and therefore "won't be able" to code with them?

I'm working on a Fasm environment for DOS beginners.
It's free & all the things I've made are totally free.

http://bitdog.home.att.net/files/fasmenv.zip

Half meg in size. No bloat ware. Include file proc's,
macro's, info, programs, examples, complete source code in Fasm,
bla,bla,etc

I'm still working on it, but it improves weekly.
