Synopsis

Designed for undergraduate courses in assembly language programming.

Concentrating on the MS-DOS operating system and using short applications, this complete and fully updated study of assembly language for the IBM-PC helps students learn the basics of operating systems and architecture in the context of a microprocessor, and teaches them how to approach programming problems with a machine-level mindset. Based on the Intel 80x86 processor family, it simplifies and demystifies concepts that must be understood before students go on to study computer architecture or computer operating systems in more advanced courses. The text provides hundreds of short examples that show how assembly language may be applied to useful problems.

Designed for students and professionals interested in learning the basics of operating systems and architecture in the context of a microprocessor. In his third edition, Kip Irvine concentrates on the combined Windows/MS-DOS operating system and thoroughly covers assembly language for Intel-based computers.

Focusing on how to approach programming problems with a machine-level mindset, Assembly Language for the Intel-Based includes the following features:

• All programs tested with the Microsoft( MASM 6.11( assembler and the Borland( TASM 4.0( assembler.
• Deconstructs and analyzes the bit-level encoding of machine instructions.
• Includes examples of linking to C / C++ programs in both Real and Protected modes. Shows how to write in-line assembly code in C++.
• Introduces all non-protected 32-bit instructions, shows how to perform 32 bit arithmetic. Includes a tutorial on using floating-point instructions.
• Improved keyboard and video information, including a bitmap display, ISR, and TSR examples. Includes a new section on writing characters and attributes directly to video RAM.

CD-ROM includes the full professional version of the Microsoft( MASM 6.11( Assembly Language Development System, a programmer's editor, a macro library, and the book's source code.

CD-ROM includes a valuable link library that may be used by students for console I/O in all of their programs.
