You have to read the NASM docs. You can't just copy a source
written for, say, MASM, and expect it to work for NASM.
(immediately I see for example: NASM doesn't support memory
models (sec. 2.2.5 of docs, e.g.), .DATA should be SECTION .data,
INCLUDE should be %include...) That's why you're getting "instruction
expected", because you're not using instructions that it's expecting.
Also, this looks like a .com program, which I don't think will
work on Linux.
