I've got some inline assembly that I just can't get to work.  It's a 
simple routine to move an offscreen buffer onto the screen.  But, when I 
try to compile it I get an "Error: operands given don't match any known 
386 instruction" with a line number that doesn't coorespond to any line 
in my C code (I have 120 lines of C code and the error is on line 140 and 
148).  So, I did a "gcc -S vga13h.c" and looked at lines 140 and 148, but 
there was nothing fancy going on there.  I've looked over it with a 
couple of friends and we are all stumped.  Could someone please help 
out?  Here's the code:  I've made arrows pointing to the lines that could 
be associated with the line numbers (when compiled with -S option) that 
have the errors.  Thanks!  (Oh, and I've noticed that my algorithm is 
messed up; I should add 320-Buffer width instead of 320 to the line, but 
that isn't causing me the errors).
