NASM isn't MASM, though; it is somewhat similar but far from identical.

For example, in MASM:

        mov eax,foo

... can be either an immediate or a memory reference depending on 
exactly how "foo" is declared.

There is an assembler called WASM/JWASM that is available for Linux 
which is compatible with some ancient version of MASM.

        -hpa
