1.1. What Is NASM?
==================

   The Netwide Assembler, NASM, is an 80x86 assembler designed for
portability and modularity. It supports a range of object file formats,
including Linux and `NetBSD/FreeBSD' `a.out', `ELF', `COFF', Microsoft
16-bit `OBJ' and `Win32'. It will also output plain binary files.  Its
syntax is designed to be simple and easy to understand, similar to
Intel's but less complex. It supports `Pentium', `P6', `MMX', `3DNow!',
`SSE' and `SSE2' opcodes, and has macro capability.
