Is there a decent and finitely-priced book on MASM (which I presume is Microsoft Assembler)? I've don't want to do enough assembly programming to pay for the Microsoft manual. Thanks, Bard @ mit-xx . arpa -------

It also deals with DOS and the machine's innards, such as generating sounds, disk access, graphics... I don't know if this is what you want, but it is well done (as of 20% of the way through) and not too expensive. --henry schaffer
