More Assembley

[agabriel at coe.neu.edu (Anthony J. Gabrielson)]

hello,	
	I have copied a nice small program out of my assembly book that
won't compile.  I was wondering if somebody might know why?

.MODEL SMALL
.STACK 100H
.DATA
name_msg        DB 'Please enter your name:  ',0
query_msg       DB 'How many times to repeat welcome msg?  ',0
confirm_msg1    DB 'Repeat welcome msg ',0
confirm_msg2    DB ' time (y/n) ',0
welcome_msg     DB 'Welcome to Assembly Language Programming ',0

user_name       DB 16 DUP (?) ;Buffer for user name
response        DB ?

.CODE
INCLUDE io.mac

main PROC
        .STARTUP
        PutStr  name_msg
        nwln
        GetStr  user_name,16
        nwln
ask_count:
        PutStr  query_msg                                                      
        GetInt  CX
        nwln
        PutStr  confirm_msg1
        PutInt  CX
        PutStr  confirm_msg2
        GetCh   response
        nwln
        cmp     response,'y'
        nwln
        jne     ask_count
display_msg:
        PutStr  welcome_msg
        PutStr  user_name
        nwln
        loop    display_msg
        .EXIT
main    ENDP
        END     main 

I get these errors:
test.asm:1: parser: instruction expected
test.asm:1: attempt to define a local label before any non-local labels
test.asm:2: parser: instruction expected
test.asm:2: attempt to define a local label before any non-local labels

test.asm:40: symbol `main' redefined
test.asm:41: parser: instruction expected

I used the command nasm test.asm

Anyway I am greatly confused - I thought I understood 'At Least a little
bit'

Thanks for the help,
Anthony
