Subject:	assembly language for delorie port of gnu to dos versus linux
X-Mailer:	AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 167

      I have C++ codes which contain sections written in assembly language
which work fine with the Delorie import of  the gnu C++ compiler to DOS.
     Lately, I have tried copying these codes to Linux and using the Linux
gnu C++ compiler to compile them.
     Everything goes ok except for two things connected with the assembly
language sections.  First, the Linux gnu C++ compiler does not like \
(backslash)
to end each line of assembly language.  I do not know what it wants or
expects.
Second, the Linux gnu C++ compiler does not like the :'s (colons) which
appear toward the end of each section of assembly language.
     I wonder if there is anyone out there who has tried copying C++ codes
written for the Delore gnu C++ compiler to Linux  and its gnu C++ compiler
( containing some assembly language) who can help me with this problem.
     Please reply to jtg AT lanl DOT gov  and  gammeljl AT sluvca DOT slu DOT edu.  The e-mail
address from which this is written is temporary.  Thanks.
