Has anyone ever encountered the documentation for MASM. Not the useless garbage in the
MSDN, but real documentation. THe kind that gives the syntax of identifiers, for example,
or explains what options are available with the OPTIONS directive (not just a list of
them, but the actual explanations)? Or the syntax of a string, or of an initializer?

I'm reverse-engineering some of this as I am designing a course in x86 assembly code
(really! Turns out people need to *read* it), but I'd be happier if I found real
documentation somewhere.

The last time I wrote assembler it was for a device driver in MS-DOS, in 1989. But
apparently some things never go away, such as the need to know it, but nobody teaches it
any longer.

I suggest you download MASM from your MSDN subscription because it comes
with a set of .doc files describing all kinds of stuff. But if you are
using Word 2003/2007, these ancient files are blocked by default, and I had
to edit the registry in order to get the modern Word to open them (something
about security....) Security by feature removal, yeah, that's the ticket!
:-O

The Wordpad coming with Win 7 says "Can't load files" (yes, that is 2
spaces between "load" and "files").
