You can get it from		http://www.cryogen.com/Nasmor do a web-search for it. Make sure the executable is called 'nasmw.exe'and is in your path, otherwise you will get errors.2) Build itEasy enough. Go to the 'src' directory (or folder if you must..),open the "Hermes.dsw" Workspace with Visual Studio. Go to the "Build" menu and select "Batch Build...". Select whichversion you want (don't build the debug version unless your programcrashes, it is vital that Hermes runs as fast as possible) and startthe build.In the src\ directory two new directories will be created: \Debug and\Release. You can guess what they mean.. Each of them contains acouple of object files and more importantly Hermes.dll.I suggest that you do the  following things after having compiled Hermes:	Copy Hermes.dll somewhere you can link against it	Copy Hermes.h Types.h and H_*.h to your include directoryYou are now ready to use HERMES. It is probably a good idea to readthe FAQ and the API so you find out how to use HERMES. Also, a quick look into README will not harm you (it might harm you if youuse Notepad as that file uses UNIX linebreaks).brn(19/05/1999)
