Hi,
Im learning assembly through HLA/Art of assembly book.. Do I need to
have both linux and windows installed?
Im a bit confused since the "Windows version" of the book keeps
alternating between windows and linux setup in chapter 2..

Thanks

No. One or the other... or I think it'll run on BSD and MacOSX, too. But
one is enough.

Unless I'm mistaken, there's an "installer" available for the Windows
version, which should simplify things. For Linux, you'll need to
decompress the tar.gz into your /usr directory (need to be root). Then
you'll need to put /usr/hla on your PATH, and set the "hlainc" and
"hlalib" environment variables - probably in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc
(depending on if you've got a "login shell" or not?). Follow the
instructions and you'll probably be okay.

There is a !Yahoo! group...

Where you will probably get better help than here. :)

Best,
Frank
