PCC12 has an assembler with it , you can learn c and assembly at the same time , if you wish ; though the codes are for 16-bit and segment addressing is used in some of the routines. EU>Anyhow, here are some popular books about assembly. You could try EU>asking for these at the library: EU>'Assembly Language Step-By-Step : Programming With DOS and Linux' EU>by Jeff Duntemann. Ah..hah ! ; possibily useful. EU>'Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers' by Kip R. Irvine. Should be available. EU>'80X86 IBM PC and Compatible Computers: Assembly Language, Design EU>and Interfacing Vol. I and II' by Muhammad Ali Mazidi. I don't use my ports as much as I might. Do any of these mention the mmx and 3d instructions ? There's a rather large and comprehensive volumne , on the 80486 ; bound in a dark green material , I photocopied the instruction set , as many of these aren't found in the 8086/80186 intel reference manual , that I still find useful.
