Hello, I'm reading the book "Assembly Language Step-by-Step" and I'm using the softwares that the author suggests (nasm as assembler, nasm-ide for editing, alink for linking), but I'm having a problem right in the first example - he gives a working code (eat2.asm) and asks me to type a wrong statement (mvo ax,bx) and assembling it with Nasm-IDE should give an error, the problem is that when assembling it with Nasm-IDE it always says that "No errors occurred.". In fact, when i try assembling anything with Nasm-IDE it gives the same problem (I defined the path of Nasm in Options -> Assembler).

The weird thing is that the assembler works flawlessly when I assemble using the prompt directly (typing nasm -f bin eat2.asm -o eat2.com) - it sees the error in the statement, but using Nasm-ID it just doesn't work. Any ideas?

There is a fix for the problem you encountered with "Assembly Language Step by Step second edition". I have attached a text file describing what I did to fix this problem. I sent you three files I used to install NASM and NASMIDE . I had to zip up the T-NASM_IDE_0.0.2.3.exe file to get it to go into my reply. You can extract it from the zip fileby the same name.

Hopefully this will get you going. I am not sure how you can get back to me if you need more help. I suspect you can do it somehow thru this site. Good Luck.
