OK you got a point there, but downloading from here http://www.emu8086.com/
will cost you 2.85MB to download. That must be not that difficult, way back I had a dial up connection myself.

In order to use your PDF offline you have to download it first, or am I wrong?
By the way : why should I have something against dial up users?

Hey you were online! Why do you have this urge to a PDF?

This will satisfy your needs I hope :http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/language/asm/artofasm/artof001.htm
Or download an emulator from here :http://www.emu8086.com/

All depends on your microprocessors intruction set. This is info for a 8086 microprocessor:

Unsigned multiply.
Algorithm:
when operand is a byte:
AX = AL * operand.
when operand is a word:...

If you googled it you would already had it
eg : http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=8088+pin+configuration&src=IE-SearchBox

I typed in 8088 pin configuration

A native compiler never compiles to assembly it compiles to machincode (zeros and ones). Assembly language is just a bunch of "mnemonics" so that we can get a grasp at what all those zeros and ones...

MOV AL, 2 ; AL = 2
ADD AL, 1 ; AL = 3
RET

What is your problem with that?

I would not even think of doubting about that jbennet. Just pointing out it could be done in C# also. ;o)
