But anyways here it is: I'm trying to place a value in memory so I've got this in the asm thing "movb %2, %%fs:(%%ebx)". But when it gets to the assembler I get a message like this "operands given don't match any know 386 instruction". I compiled it with the -S option and gcc converts that line into "movb -5(%ebp), %fs:(%ebx)". So what's wrong here, I don't get it. If anyone would care to enlighten me I would very much appreciate it. Nick Bray
