Try downloading  valarrow.zip  from  http://www.cet.com/~jvahn
  My copy from this location has a 4,912 byte doc (val.doc)
  When unzipping valarrow.zip a messages is displayed :
  ' free MASM 3.0 compatible assembler package '
  I'm surprised your local library has no books on assembly programming.
  The city i live in is small (600,000 people including suburbs)
  and the library is badly underfunded. (corrupt government)
  but there are still 5 or 6 good books on assembly programming for the
  Intel microprocessors, and even some on 6502 etc.
  Maybe your local government is worse then ours, though thats hard to
  believe, or maybe the librarians hate computers.
