Surely, SteveBasic! PB inline assembler syntax is indeed 'intel' type,
like MASM, with the minor syntactical difference of Using &h prefix
instead of the h suffix for hexadecimal, which is actually a lot easier
(don't have to worry about using a prefix zero!). I'm writing about a
bug, not syntax implementation. (That is, PB's internal linker has
problems with some standard OBJ files). This standard has been defined
by Microsoft, btw. Simple concern for one of my favorite dos tools! I'd
hate to see a  bug in it, though under most circumstances you won't
notice it's there.
