Okay, I downloaded Masm32 to my computer, and I found a (seemingly) good simple tutorial online to get me started before I buy a book. But the tutorial said that here is a code for your first program:


It comes up with a couple errors when I go to "Project" - "Assemble & Link" (is that what I'm supposed to go to?).

I figured out one of the errors... I had to put a _ right before all the main's. But the other one says Symbol Type Conflict on line 9.

Anybody know what the problem is? And also.. If you know of a good tutorial online that I could use to get started off, that would be great if you could link to it!

If you insist on learning the obsolete DOS-style 16-bit code, then you need to get a 16-bit linker. One is available ( Lnk563.exe ) here:

I don't really insist on learning anything... That's just the tutorial that I found.

So, if it's better to learn 32 bit, I certainly would rather learn that.

Do you know of any online tutorials that teach the code that Masm works with (32 bit)?

There seems to be a lot of interest in 16 bit code in this forum , which leads me to believe there are a lot of educational institutions teaching this. My question would be WHY?

masm32.com has the whole package for 32 bit and some very good examples and tutorials.

There are some here:

And a neat one here:

Thanks for those!
