CHARTER
The proposed unmoderated newsgroup comp.lang.asm.x86 will be
open to discussions on all topics related to assembly language
and low-level programming on IBM machines with '86 processors.
Appropriate topics would include, but not be limited to,
Assembly language tips and tricks (code techniques)
MASM, TASM, and other commercial assemblers
Graphics, sound, and other hardware programming
Assembly language code
Assembly language related share/freeware
Linking assembly language with other languages
Etc . . .
Topics that are discouraged are:
Flames about "{Language X} is {better/worse} than ASM"
Flames like "{Assembler 1} is {better/worse} than {Assembler 2}"
High-level language code, except when used for
hardware programming
I already wrote a miniature preliminary FAQ. Look for it in
the comp.answers newsgroup.
