Bill S.              Oops, I got the book name wrong. It's "Peter Norton's Assembly Language Book       for the IBM PC". 1986 By Peter Norton and John Socha, ISBN 0-13-661901-0       A Brady publication.       A good place to look is Library book sales. Without knowing what kind of       machine       you have, answers are tough.
