One place you can get NASM is http://www.web-sites.co.uk/nasm/, but
there are probably many others.  There are useful NASM links on John
Fine's home page (John is one of the moderators of
news:comp.lang.asm.x86 and one of the developers of NASM) at
http://users.erols.com/johnfine/.

NASM uses Intel mnemonics as MASM does, but the syntax is not
identical.

See news:comp.lang.asm.x86 and its FAQs for more information.  The
home page for that group is
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/8600/.
