Peter,
     There isn't anything wrong with those lines as near as I can tell
(and you do have the right ones). I just tried it and got the same
error messages myself. I think this is a bug in GAS 2.7 because the
instruction in line 252 appears a few lines above it and GAS does not
generate an error from it.
     There are two possible solutions that I can see. Either you can
replace these outs with .byte 0xXX of the object code of these
instructions, or do what I have done and replace as.exe with the one
from binutils 2.5.2 until a fixed version of GAS is available. With the
older version of GAS this assembles just fine, and I have had no other
problems with this setup (though Eli doesn't recommend it). But then
again, I havn't tried recompiling all of alegro with it.
