Hi! I'm studying 8086 in Microprocessor II Usually we write simple programs using MS-Dos's debug "command" Is there a parallel Linux utility ? Also are there any assemblers like MASM TASM ?
I would also like to clear some doubts: 1. In DOS we use interrupts like int 20,int 21 etc.. which perform certain tasks. Are these interrupts apllicable to Linux also? 2.In Assembly since we deal directly with CPU isn't it a security risk? (I have come across some debug routines which clear CMOS , destroy the hard disk partitions... !) 3.Why there r so many books written for Assembly Programming which are specific to Dos based Assemblers and debug? Is Unix implementation for Assembly Programming difficult ? Please enlighten. -- "I don't know which is worse, ...that everyone has his price, or that the price is always so low." -Calvin _______________________________________________ http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
