   That may be how you would do it in assembly.
   In C, I would skip the inline and just use
printf("hello world.");
   I DID try to print 'hello world' using asm, though.
   I eventually found that this will work:
int main(void)
{
   int s = (int)"Hello world.$";
   _asm {
           MOV DX, s
           MOV AH,9h
           INT 21H
   };
   return 0;
}
   This worked both in QC2.5 and BC++3.1.
   The point is that asm is not usually needed, and ruins any
   pretense of portability. A separately produced asm .OBJ will
   keep your code portable while still relying on an outside
   module which may be rewritten for every platform to which
   your code is to be ported. It is a more reusable method.
