About:
NASM is an 80x86 assembler designed for portability and modularity. It supports a range of object file formats including Linux a.out and ELF, COFF, Microsoft 16-bit OBJ, Win32/64, and Apple Mach-O. 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 all currently known opcodes, and has advanced macro capability. It includes a disassembler as well.

Release focus: Major bugfixes

Changes:
This is primarily a bugfix release. In particular, it should end once and for all abnormalities introduced by forward references when pass-limited. It does introduce some new features, mostly in the preprocessor. It adds support for packed BCD and UTF-16/UTF-32 constants. It also adds support for "smart" alignment, padding the bypassed region with optimized code.

[»] Project in bit of limbo, or web site at least.
by stompro - Jan 7th 2002 16:44:04

There seems to be two web sites for this project,
http://www.octium.net/nasm/
And
http://nasm.2y.net
It seems that the 2y.net address is the new one, but it seems to be hosted on someones cablemodem(From the speed). Note for people who need nasm for lame and gogo, The only version that worked for me was the 0.89bf version, to which there is only a zip file that you have do some work on. It stores all filenames as 8.3 and messes with the cases.
If my info is wrong, someone please correct me.
Josh
