These prebuild .EXEs actually do not work for me (XP or Vista, haven't tried pure DOS yet). I can sorta get NASM to work via "dos4gw nasm -v" or "dos32a nasm -v" but NDISASM refuses to work (and even DOSBox 0.72 doesn't help). So I compiled my own (thrice: DJGPP, OW17a/DOS, OW17a/Win32) and UPX'd 'em:

nasm9905.zip (includes updated COPYING and updated NASMDOC.TXT unlike default build)

Changes in this release:
* fixed FPU bugs? (plus added a few FPU defines, see doc)
* -r removed (use -v instead)
* -E becomes -Z (while both -e and -E are now synonyms)
* -Ox ("eks") now is a synonym for -O999
* OpenWatcom supported directly via makefiles: DOS32, Win32, Linux (DJGPP still needs "./configure ; make") although I still dunno why their pre-builds / snapshots aren't working (bug in OW/Linux??)
