A good Asmbler Compiler
Also, will Chris Hobbs be returning with further installments of his features?
The links to everything Win32 oriented that you will ever need (including a link to my company's page ) can be found at http://win32asm.cjb.net
Finally, yes -- I will be continuing the series. I am about halfway through the next one. Christmas and many other things have been taking up much of my time lately.

To get MASM at Microsoft, you have to wade through a hefty download for the W98 DDK at http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/install98ddk.htm
Once you do that, you have to patch MASM (well, you don't have to...) up to the current version of 6.14 from http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q228/4/54.asp
I must say, I found some Win32 ASM files and I am astounded by the content that can be packed into such small files once compiled. But then, that's what you get with assembler.
Ah, for something a bit smaller than the W98 DDK (unless you want play with device drivers), go to http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/download/98/BINS_DDK.EXE (this file is actually inside the DDK package above), then extract BIN_WIN98_ML.EXE and BIN_WIN98_ML.ERR and rename them to ML.EXE and ML.ERR respectively. Move the files to your VC98\BIN\ directory. Now patch them as above.
