Hello,
	I am looking for recommendations for a good 386 assembly language 
book.  Not a tutorial but rather a reference which I won't outgrow.  I am 
trying to hand optimize some C code on a 386 PC but don't know much about 
the 386 and need times for various instructions and so forth.  I will be 
using TASM if it matters.  
	Please mail me and I will post a summary of the replies.

    I have Edmund Strauss's "80386 Technical Reference", and I've found it
to be reasonably complete and accurate.  It has good descriptions of the
differences between the 80386's various operating modes, and includes
descriptions of all instructions with timing information.  It definitely
assumes general familiarity with assembly language.
