assemble error

[xlav]

I copied and assembled the following code from an assembly tutorial on the web,

.model small
.stack
.data
message   db "Hello world, I'm learning Assembly !!!", "$"

.code

main   proc
   mov   ax,seg message  ???
   mov   ds,ax

   mov   ah,09
   lea   dx,message
   int   21h

   mov   ax,4c00h
   int   21h
main   endp
end main  ???

I got the following errors;

first ??? line: symbol type conflict
last ??? line: with /coff switch, leading underscore required for start address: main

Seeking your help.

What assembler (and linker) are you using?

WinAsm Studio v3.0.2.4.,(MASM32 IDE).

Did you try making 'main' into '_main'?

Got error 'unmatched block nesting' at line 'main endp'. Put underscore at that 'main' and got error 'undefined symbol :main' for line 'end main'.
