I can't help with ASM, sorry. Have you looked at Brennan's guide, though?
http://www.rt66.com/~brennan/djgpp, follow the links to his guide to DJGPP
inline assembler.

Yes, but you also have hard drive space free which your DPMI server is
treating as virtual memory. This is completely transparent to your
programs; your malloc works because the total amount of memory
(physical+virtual) is enough to provide the block you requested.

Because it's protected, and you need to ask the DPMI server for permission
to write there. I don't know about tutorials, but http://www.delorie.com/
has some links, and Brennan's DJGPP page (mentioned above) is invaluable.
