Thanks for the info! The book service is www.books24x7.com I actually use its slightly blind-friendlier Textonly.books24x7.com I've looked at "The Art of Assembly Programming." I think I'm quirky, because I had more trouble getting into it than I'd expected.

If you don't mind sharing, what is the name of that fairly expensive online service? I learned from the "Art of Assembly" book suggested by another poster. Be warned that the author uses his own "high level" assembler. It's nonstandard. If you learn the basics of assembly from that book, you should be able to translate that knowledge into the syntax used by the widely-available assemblers. A student of Linux assembly might also want to grab a copy of the asmutils package. It contains reimplementations of the common Unix utilities. Most are small and relatively easy to comprehend. I have a program in the collection: uuencode. I wrote it when I was learning Linux assembly. The asmutils use Intel syntax, and they assemble with nasm.
