nasm defaults to assembling programs in flat binary format as in DOS
"sys" or "com" programs.  Running "nasm -hf" will list the output
formats nasm can produce.  For current Linux, the command line should
be "nasm -f elf -o myprog myprog.asm".  This will give the right out-
put format, but other changes may also be needed for Linux.
