MASM32 Basic Question

[Ender]

Today a friend told me that mASM32 is not "pure assembly." He says this because it has constructs like print chr$("..."), etc. Is this true, and if so, does mASM32 have all the functionality of "pure assembly"? Also, what do you guys use?

[TheMinistered]

masm - macro assembler...  it has extensive use of macros but when it boils down to it-- it's pure assembly being assembled.

Also, what do you guys use?

NASM and FASM. They are both alike except FASM has more powerful macros.
