-This is a distribution of NASM, the Netwide Assembler. NASM is a
-prototype general-purpose x86 assembler. It will currently output
-flat-form binary files, a.out, COFF and ELF Unix object files,
-Microsoft Win32 and 16-bit DOS object files, OS/2 object files, the
-as86 object format, and a home-grown format called RDF.
+The Netwide Assembler, NASM, is an x86 and x86-64 assembler
+designed for portability and modularity.  It will output flat-form
+binary files, a.out (Linux and *BSD), COFF, ELF32, ELF64, Mach-O,
+Microsoft OMF (OBJ), Win32, Win64, as86 (Minix/Linux bin86 v0.3),
+LADsoft IEEE-695, and a home-grown format called RDOFF. NASM syntax
+is similar to Intel's but less complex.  It supports Pentium, P6,
+MMX, 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and x64 opcodes, among others. It
+has strong support for macro conventions.
 
-Also included is NDISASM, a prototype x86 binary-file disassembler
+Also included is NDISASM, binary-file disassembler
 which uses the same instruction table as NASM.
