Description
The NASMX Project (formerly NASM32) is a collection of macros, includes and examples, which are meant to help Netwide Assembly Language (NASM) programmers develop software in a fraction of the time it normally takes. This package contains everything you need to begin developing 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, Linux and XBOX applications.

Release Notes
The following is a running list of release notes that span the existence of the NASMX Project.
Current Release: 8:05 PM 1/12/2009, by Keith Kanios
- Updated Win32 "bin" directory with latest versions of NASM, NDISASM, GoLink, GoRC and ResEd.
- Generated new Win32 "resource.h" file based solely on NASMX Win32 include files.
- Removed redundant .CODE, .TEXT, .DATA and .BSS macros from nasmx.inc due to conflict with local labels.
Archived Release: 9:30 PM 9/30/2007, by Keith Kanios and Bryant Keller
- Renamed project from "NASM32" to "NASMX" due to the inclusion of 64-bit material and cross-platform nature of the project.
- Revamped NASMX.INC to automatically detect object formats and "BITS" modes for seemless detection and use of INVOKE calling conventions.
- POLIB, POMAKE, PORC and POLINK have been removed in favor of GoLink and GoRC. GoLink supports Win64 linking.
- The Win32 DEMO batch files have been modified to reflect the use of GoLink and GoRC.
- The Windows installer no longer requires building the include and library files due to the nature and use of GoLink.
- The "def" and "lib" directories have been removed due to their obsolete nature.
- Added Win64 DEMOs 1 through 4.
- Added Linux syscall.inc in which employs the new SYSCALL macro that works similar to INVOKE for calling the Linux Kernel.
- Added Linux DEMO1 which illustrates SYSCALL usage for calling Linux Kernel functions.
- Changed Linux X11 DEMO1 to Destroy the Window and Close the Connection to X11 upon program exit.
- The "docs" directory has been deprecated and removed. All of the files that were in the "docs" directory have been placed in the root install directory.
Archived Release: 6:30 PM 8/5/2007, by Keith Kanios
- Added X11 DEMO1, an example of a basic X11 Window.
- Added partial X11 and Linux LibC include files only to support the X11 DEMO1. More complete versions will come later.
- Compiled new Linux release package under the standard GZIP Tarball compression format.
Archived Release: 7:03 AM 3/8/2007, by Keith Kanios
- Switched to using a compressed installation package.
- Added disclaimer the README.TXT file to help warn assembly language beginners become aware of the "basic" content of the packaged DEMOS.
- Removed tools from the BIN directory that were not vital to basic application development.
- Removed the DOS version of NASM (NASM.EXE) from the BIN directory, as this project has no direct intention of supporting the DOS environment. This also includes the removal of the DOS version of NDISASM (NDISASM.EXE) from the BIN directory as well.
- The 32-bit Windows NASM version (NASMW.EXE) has been renamed to simply NASM.EXE. This also includes the renaming of the 32-bit Windows NDISASM version (NDISASMW.EXE) to simply NDISASM.EXE as well.
- The Win32 and XBOX DEMO batch files have been changed to reflect the new layout/changes of the BIN directory.
Archived Release: 12:03 PM 2/16/2007, by Keith Kanios
- Added "def" directory for use with export definition files.
- Added Win32 export definition files to "def/win32".
- Developed and added DEF2INC program for creating all Win32 include files as this method allows for a smaller package download.
- Utilizing POLIB for creating all Win32 library files as this method allows for a smaller package download.
- Changed the layout of the "lib" directory to reflect future platform separation (i.e. Win32/Linux/etc...)
- Added DEMO12 to the list of Win32 example applications. Read the "README.TXT" file in the "demos/win32" directory for more information.
- Placed "stdwin.inc" back into the "inc/win32" subdirectory as it is Win32 API specific. DEMO7, DEMO8 and DEMO10 of the Win32 demos reflect this change.
- Added support for XBOX. Include file added ("xbe.inc") for development of XBE files directly from NASM. Include file added ("kernel.inc") to assist with XBOX Kernel calls.
- Added DEMO1 to the list of XBOX example applications. Read the "README.TXT" file in the "demos/xbox" directory for more information.

- Fixed string bug in INVOKE and cleaned-up obsolete symbols.
- Major rework done to give capatibility with The Win32ASM Project, which utilizes Pelle's Tools. Rewrote nasm32.inc to combine features from libc.mac, making a unifed nasm32.inc that will be the basis for future mutli-platform support.
- Forked Bryant's Demos for use on Win32 with Pelle's Tools, ALINK and GORC are no longer needed, or supported, in the package.
- Forked include and library files in preparation for multi-platform support. Win32 specific files can now be found in "win32" subdirectories. See the accompanying Win32 demos for usage.
- CHANGE: Renamed the "examples" directory to "demos".
- CHANGE: ALINK was removed from the package, in favor of POLINK support for the Win32 platform. This also removes the use of the OMF object format (-f obj) in favor of MS COFF (-f win32).
- CHANGE: GORC was removed from the package, in favor of PORC support for the Win32 platform.
Archived Release: 1:26 PM 3/10/2006, by Bryant Keller
- Added nasm32\macros\libc.mac which gives you the ability to build your applications using libc with ease. libc.mac _CANNOT_ be used with nasm32.inc because it contains the same macros, just for use with libc. This also means that Nasm32 can build applications on Linux/BSD systems which support gcc and libc.
Archived Release: 10:07 PM 2/13/2006, by Bryant Keller
- Added inline argument defining, similar to FASM and MASM, to the proc macro.
NOTE: defining arguments inline means that the arguments are dword values by default. To define other sized arguments, use the old argd macro.- Added if/elsif/else/endif macros for conditional assembly, as well as definitions for a cleaner syntax.
- Cleaned up the switch/case/default/break/endswitch macros to enable nested switch/case statments.
- Added a new demo, DEMO10 to show off inline argument defining using proc and to show how the if/elsif/else/endif macros work.
Archived Release: 6:46 PM 12/15/2005, by Bryant Keller
- Fixed a bug in the PROTO macro, added the dllproc macro, and included a demo on creating dynamically linked libraries.
Archived Release: 9:39 PM 12/12/2005, by Bryant Keller
- Added do/while, do/until, and switch/case support to the nasm32.inc include.
Archived Release: 10:47 PM 12/11/2005, by Bryant Keller
- Added many more include files to the /nasm32/inc directory. I've got most of the windows API completed in that aspect. I now have the wide character versions of each of the associated API's included as well for Unicode support
- Updated Demo7 to include all of the new 'stdwin.inc' CreateWindowEx wrappers.
- Updated include file 'stdwin.inc' for the other standard controls that I left out.
- New Features:
ComboCtl - Creates a standard combobox control
ListBoxCtl - Creates a standard listbox controlArchived Release: 6:56 PM 12/10/2005, by Bryant Keller
- Added Demo7 to show off the new include file.
- New include file 'stdwin.inc' encapsulates CreateWindowEx calls to simplify the creation of windows and controls. (requires nasm32.inc)
- New Features:
StdWindow - Creates a standard SDI Window
ButtonCtl - Creates a standard button control
EditCtl - Creates a standard edit control
StaticCtl - Creates a standard static controlArchived Release: 3:24 AM 12/9/2005, by Bryant Keller
- Combined winconst.inc and winstruct.inc into windows.inc
- Changed icall to invoke to make it easier for people moving from Masm32 and Fasm
- Example:
invoke GetModuleHandle
invoke MessageBoxA, dword NULL, dword string, dword title, dword MB_OK
