I have always been struggling to find an all-in-one solution for Linux assembly program, so that we can do the porting. >From my experience, I think the most salient problem that hinder people from using assembly as her development tool lies in the absent of a robust assembly debugger. Although people says gdb is good enough, I still don't know how to treak it to symbolically debug my intel-syntax asm program. I've also try ald before, but I think it's the problem of nasm, it cannot show the symbols too. After I got the gift from Jeff, I've tried it out all night, and I finally figure out how to debug my asm program symboliclly under kdbg, with his suggestion of using another version of nasm. With Jeff's tool, I finally can tried to start doing the porting. I believe, with an integrated assembly development package, more and more people using asm under DOS/MS Windows like me will give a try to Linux. Thanks Jeff for his endeavour, and of course other programmers who contributed to the linux assembly tools. Thanks and Regards, Lawrence
