Out of interest, I was looking at the NASM web site, and I noticed that the latest version there for Win32 was 2.13.03. There are no version numbers for the nasmw.exe files on my PC, but they are quite a few years behind the current version

Is there any mileage to be gained from installing the latest version? I have just recompiled using the new version, and it all went OK. I will leave it with new version, and see how it goes. You have to rename the downloaded version to nasmw.exe

It should work - nasm is called by the compiler as a stand-alone program.
Let me know if you see any gain in using the newer version.

Larry,

I've compiled two or three programs, checking their file sizes before a new nasm compile. They all reported the same number of bytes in file size, before and after, and all run OK. I suppose we have the benefit of bug fixes and optimisations. Nothing too drastic, I hope!
