(Well, glad to here the kids are actually learning something!)

Found him willing to help. He and many other Assembly Language fans can be readily found debating Assembly Language programming tactics on usenet. (Search for something like "x86" or "asm" to find the relevant groups.)

I have his HLA book and also spent some time debugging the HLA ebuild for the package on the Gentoo Distro.

Another book note worthy here concerning x86 ASM for Linux is:

Programming from the Ground Up
ISBN 0975283847
http://www.cafeshops.com/bartlettpublish.8640017

It is the first book of it's kind dealing with x86 Aseembly Language explicitly for GNU Linux and is very well written with very good examples.

Professor Hyde can be found complimenting the book on Amazon's page selling this book.

It would be even better if Linux Journal published one of it's monthly magazine with an all-out "Assembly Language" theme for us long time computer users!

Enjoy!

One of the really neat things with HLA (*If I am not mistakened!*), you can get HLA to convert HLA source code into readily usable standard Assembly Language source code that can then be compiled by a regular GNU assembly compiler.

The only real downside to this, you're getting allot of un-needed code from the conversion from HLA. But it makes writing code exceptionally easy!

(If this is true, it's a really neat feature the article forgot to mention. ;-)
