    Hi,

    Win32asm isn't really "pure" asm. At risk of flames, win32asm is quite like
    win32 C, simply because you're mainly using the api. If you know the
    win32api well enough, you won't have many problems. Take a look at
    http://win32asm.cjb.net, which IMO are the best tutorials on the net. You'll
    need a copy of MASM32
    (http://spiff.tripnet.se/~iczelion/files/masm32v7.zip), which handily has
    all the incs you're likely to need for win32 coding.

    But, if this is your first attempt at Windows coding, I'd strongly suggest
    you get a copy of Visual Studio and spend some time coding C/C++ apps.
    Knowing the win32api is just as important as knowing the language you're
    coding in, when it comes to Windows apps.

    Good luck.
