You can't do it! What do you really want to do? Convert a Z80 assembler source 
code into a 386 assembler source code? or binary to binary?

For the first just use normal strings (  char *string="move $0x1,?";  ) and 
replace the ? with the destination register.

For the second you must do much more work because the destination register is 
encoded in the bits.
