Good news to all MASM users! Microsoft now making MASM version 8.0 available for download for free! You can find it in this link:

The Microsoft Macro Assembler 8.0 (MASM) is a tool that consumes x86 assembly language programs and generates corresponding binaries. Assembly language programs built with MASM can be edited and debugged using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. This installation requires the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition to be installed on the computer.

This download is for non-commercial use only, see the EULA during installation for more details.

I almost forgot about GAS (GNU Assembler) -> You can get it for free from GNU website, or simply get any GNU C/C++ compiler packages, as it always include the GNU assembler in there (AS.EXE). I suggest, get the minimalist GNU for windows (MinGW) if you're using Windows operating system, or better, get the Bloodshed DevC++ as it constains both the IDE and MinGW.

Note that the GNU Assembler is now supporting Intel Assembly systax, and it's now a good tool for writing an assembly program that portable for Windows and Linux operating systems.

For details about GNU Assembler (GAS), read the manual:

Another note: I just downloaded the distributed package of Borland C++ Builder 5.5 (Free Commandline Tools), and a little surprised that TASM32 is no longer included in there, though it still contains TLINK32 for linking OMF files., I guess Turbo Assembly coders should move to the another similar assembler (flat style), like the Flat Assembler or YASM.
