IB> PS I use a registered version which also has a command line compiler (as
IB> well as a manual). 

I was wondering if you could answer a question for me.  I am
trying to compile MSGED/SQ using Pacific C, and with a swag of
changes, was able to get to the stage of it compiling.  However,
for it to link, I need to use some assembler code.  I am including
an example in here of some of the assembler code.  However, the
methods I attempted to use to get it to link, didn't work (I used
tasm -oi to assemble, then hlink or tlink to link, neither were
happy).  as86 wouldn't assemble my code.

Is it possible to use assembler and pacific c?  There are some
shareware assemblers around, I was hoping I could use that and
paific C, so that people can do work on MSGED without NEEDING a
compiler, and then send me the code diffs so that I can 
recompile them myself.

BFN.  Paul.
