  Preserve the following registers:

	ebx
	ebp
	esp
	edi
	esi

  Now, I have a question for the more knowledgeable djgpp folk.
  I asked the same question a while back, and I received some

  great, but I would like to know where it is *documented*
  that the above registers are indeed the ones which have
  to be preserved.  n
