mydata segment para
pGDT32 label fword
; somedata
mydata ends
code16 segment para use16

is this the standard nasm way? if so im in trouble, if not, how would it be written in nasm?

I do by the way understand it (i think) but the syntax seems all wrong to me.

my best guess would be that i should look something like this

[BITS 16]
pGDT32:
; somedata

end of story, by i suspect that there is something very important i am missing here.

the syntax looks like it comes from some funky nonstandard assembler (masm or tasm?). in nasm you'd have:

Code: Select all

SECTION .text
BITS 16
somelabel:
; code

SECTION .data
anotherlabel:
; data declarations

I wouldn't exactly call masm non standard (for that it is). It has been around for as long as the PC has, which is 26 years now.

age doesn't imply usage
