//Hello all,//

Hi,

I have started to learn Assembler out of an old book.

It is ancient (2003) but I don't think 8086 programming has changed
much. But the tools have.

I took assembly language in school but dropped out. Now I want another
go at it.

Would someone be my Mentor and answer a ton of questions that would
dwindle out as time went on?

If it's OK, we could do it here. Or netmail

Books are from a bookstore.


Book 1
Assembly Language for the PC 3rd edition, John Socha and Peter Norton.

Book 2
Assembly Language (step by step) Jeff Duntemann. Too Chatty.

I cannot afford a modern book at this time.

Thats what I picked up from the thrift store.

These books are dated around the time I was taking machine code in
school and I find it interesting now.

I hope someone picks me up.

I am running linux and using DOSemu

Also a modern DEBUG and and a modern Vi

I am also a Ham Radio Operator (45 years)
