Hello Olga;
I was scanning the list of older questions and thought I might be able to help. 
You haven't given any background concerning your goals: course work or just 
general interest. You also haven't given any information about your background. 
So the first lesson is: When asking for help in websites or newsgroups, give the 
people at the other end enough information to know what the question really is. 
End of mini-lecture.

Next concern/caveat: Assembly language programming is not for the faint of heart. 
I have a couple of decades old experience in the area, but am not currently 
coding. I have never coded in the MASM environment. I am taking the liberty of 
"answering" your question with references to currently available Internet 
resources because it has been my experience that many people do not explore the 
rich resources that can be dicovered on the Net with a good search engine.

I did an  search with AltaVista on terms +MASM +teaching +language and got many 
hits. Here is the one that occurred on the third page that seemed on target: 
http://webster.ucr.edu/Page_asm/ArtofAssembly/fwd/fwd.html#115. 
There is also a three part x86 assembly language programming FAQ at :
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/assembly-language/x86/a86

You can pull up 116 pages on AltaVista with the search string:
+"assembly language programming" +MASM
Most of them are fairly useless. For instance, none of the Microsoft.com pages I 
looked at were of any use. They seem to have abandoned MASM. But you should get 
out there and dig. There are lots of byte pushers out there with there own 
perspectives. There are also newsgroups. This list was pulled from the website 
describing the pc104FAQ;  http://www.controlled/pc104faq/:


Happy hard-coding,
David Winsemius, MD
