Hi there!
I'm completely new to the forum, NASM and actually assembly in general. I'm just curious as to which 'net' is being referred to in 'Netwide Assembler.' Sorry for such a noobish question, I'm just really curious. Thanks so much!

Hi dkennell.
Welcome to the Forum.
"Netwide" essentially means that it runs on both DOS and Linux - and other platforms. When Nasm was first written, it was a big deal. Today it is common. Doesn't mean anything really.
Best,
Frank

Ahhh, I see - that makes a lot of sense. I really like knowing why things are named what they are, so finally understanding that is a relief for me.
Thanks so much for your help, Frank!
