I know nasm supports fpu instructions. consider
getting the Intel Architecture Software
Developer´s Manuals (three Volumes) to learn how
to use fpu operations. Maybe
part one, Basic Architecture. I found it
diffcult too, because the instructions
always (? afaik) operate only on top the
so-called stack and when doing an operation
with another register, you have to push etc.
Seems weird to me. Maybe that guide helps
you get it. You can get it from
developer.intel.com.

BTW, Nasm really did release v0.98. ;-)
(they had been announcing it for over a year)
