   My first experience with assembly was typing in assembly source code   
   listings from Australian Personal Computer magazine.  They were   
   essentially debug scripts.  You'd feed it into debug and it would   
   create a .COM file.  Had little idea what the code actually meant, but   
   I sought information on how to write my own 'debug scripts' so I could   
   create my own machine language programs.   
      
   Then I found MASM and it made things quite a bit easier.
