Assemble and Link Assembly?

How do you do this? IE: How can I do this right now :- ] I'm trying to figure out how to get MASM running in Visual C++... cause according to MSDN its kinda in there..

Is there a way to just get MASM or some other similar assembly 'compiler' type program? Doesn't matter if its just running from the command line..

The labs across the river have MASM, but im in the dorm.. and I want to test to see if I'm getting the program sorta right.. So.. can anyone shed any light on this? :- ]

On linux, we use as to assemble things and ld to link them. You can also embed assebly in C and just compile it (gcc is used for this on linux usually). Sorry, I do no programming whatsoever on windows, so I can't help you with microsoft things.
