Hi,

For Windows / PE /even some ODBC, there's Iczelion's Win32 Assembly Homepage.

http://win32assembly.online.fr 35+ tutorials, 50 odd source code examples, some other papes, links
and stuff,
and all the downloads you need to start programming in assembly, even i think an IDE (but i couldn't
get it working - notepad does anyhow). Worth looking at.

Cheers
Colin
