+ The Netwide Assembler, NASM, is an 80x86 assembler designed for portability
+ and modularity.  It supports a range of object file formats, including Linux
+ a.out and ELF, NetBSD/FreeBSD, COFF, Microsoft 16-bit OBJ and Win32.  It will
+ also output plain binary files.  Its syntax is designed to be simple and easy
+ to understand, similar to Intel's but less complex."
