Most things under Linux are C-ori‰nted. But it is also possible to write
in assembler under Linux.
At this moment I know 2 assembly-programs for Linux.
1. gas (as) that is part of the GNU-C package. It makes use of the
   at&t-syntax.
2. nasm that as a more intel-compatible syntax.
In this area, James Vahn has posted a example of a Linux-asm-prog. written
for nasm.
In the Linux and assembler.028 area, Pieter de Jong have also posted some
Linux-asm-examples written for the GAS-assembler.
I have also posted some Linux-asm-examples in this area that I have
written for the GAS-assembler in combination with GASP. Gasp can add macro
capabilities to the gas-assembler. At this moment, not very spectacular
examples, there are so many things to learn.... but it is fun to
experiment with those things :-)

StarOffice, Aplixware, .... but maybe, you can ask in the Linux area. I'm
sure you will get some response there ;-)

Zuid Afrikaans. Mooie taal :-)
Als ik moest weten waar jouw zuster was, en hoe ze eruit zag, dan zouw ik
zeker de groeten overbrengen.
