Hi Duncan,
      U can try using NASM .To do this see the djppasm.doc available in
zip format at www.delorie.com & follow the link Docs on the page.
U can get NSM at ftp.simtel.com under some directory I've forgotten
which.See the above doc for details.

cheerio.
   BTW NASM assembles upto P6 including MMX and uses Intel syntax albiet
with some small quirks but no big deal
