ANNOUNCE: Release of version 0.93 of the Netwide Assembler (NASM)
=================================================================
NASM is an 80x86 assembler designed for portability and modularity.
It supports a range of object file formats including Linux a.out and
ELF, COFF, Microsoft 16-bit OBJ and Win32. It will also output plain
binary files. Its syntax is designed to be simple and easy to
understand, similar to Intel's but less complex. It supports
Pentium, P6 and MMX opcodes. It includes a disassembler as well.
Version 0.93, the first version since 0.90 to be properly announced
(sorry everyone - things got a little chaotic), now supports a host
of new features (notably MMX support), and contains an even larger
number of bug fixes (notably the ability not to suffer stack
overflows at the slightest provocation under DOS, and the ability to
assemble the FDIVP and FDIVRP instructions the right way round).
NASM is currently available in Unix .tar.gz format as
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/nasm-0.93.tar.gz
and will (hopefully) at some point move to
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/asm/nasm-0.93.tar.gz
It's also been posted to Simtel and the Coast-to-Coast Repository in
DOS archive form, and will shortly become available from
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutil/nasm093.zip
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/asmutil/nasm093s.zip
ftp://ftp.coast.net/coast/msdos/asmutil/nasm093.zip
ftp://ftp.coast.net/coast/msdos/asmutil/nasm093s.zip
(nasm093s.zip includes source code; nasm093.zip is binaries-only).
Of course these files are also available from any site, such as
sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk, which mirrors sunsite.unc.edu, Simtel or
Coast.
If you can't get it from any of those, it's also available from my
back-up FTP site, as
ftp://yoda.trin.cam.ac.uk/pub/simon/nasm-0.93.tar.gz
ftp://yoda.trin.cam.ac.uk/pub/simon/nasm093.zip
ftp://yoda.trin.cam.ac.uk/pub/simon/nasm093s.zip
Enjoy using NASM!
