Hello Linux users.
I am into programming in NASM and i have a problem running program i have created. I have compiled and linked the files as it should be, yet there is no way i can open the final file i have made. When i go to the right directory by terminal and type ./TEST (which is name of the program file) it replies with: Segmentation fault (core dumped). Please help.

This just means that your program crashed because of a segmentation fault (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault) so you must check and fix your code.

right, and very often, that happens if you use indirect addressing or indexing without initializing the base address and/or properly checking the indexes.
