Unable to run assembly program

Question

Hi, I have just started reading Introduction to 80x86 Assembly Language and Computer Architecture.I am trying to use NASM, to run the first example shown in chapter 3 ,but unsuccessfully.Has anyone read the book,and run the examples?

Answer 1

According to Google Books, you should be using MASM, not NASM. Try that.

For reference guys, page 47 here.

Answer 2

I prefer NASM over MASM. There are significant differences between them, especially when it comes to things like variables and procedures (they are not really part of the NASM approach). You'll have to make up your own mind about which to use.
