First off, what platform are you programming for? DOS? Windows? DESQView, if anyone still remembers what in heck that is?
By the way it's called an ASSEMBLER not a compiler. Calling an assembler a compiler is like a mild insult. "Information has a tendency to be free. Which means someone will always tell you something you don't want to know."

well first, thanks, for the aclaration, but i was always proggraming in high level languages, and sorry to call it a compiler.
next is, i´m thinking to begin in DOS, cause i´ve the idea that in dos learning good, will be more easy the transition to WINDOWS, because i don´t want to enter without knowledege about APIs Etc, of windows, and thats all.
thank in advance

Any version of MASM will do.
However, take note that you need a specifically DOS Linker to generate a DOS executable file. Some of the newer versions of masm include a Windows Linker. The MASM you can get from Inczelion's site includes a Windows linker, but you can download a DOS linker from somewhere there, too.
Have fun.
