How do you run a assembly language program?

You must run the assembly source code through the appropriate Assembler program in order to produce machine code for the computer and operating system you want to run it on. You will need to know which machine and system the code was written for, good assembler programmers put this information in a comment near the beginning of the program to avoid confusion. It is rare for assembler code written for one environment to run on another, although some specialist 'Cross Assemblers' are available for this purpose.
