Hi,

First off, thanx to all those who replied to my last message. They helped,
and to Eli, I found the time to read the FAQ, but it wasn't what I was
looking for. Thanx anyway.

As it is I'm busy trying to convert my old Pascal libraries to DJGPP C++. I
know enough C to convert the Pascal source without too many problems, but
the assembler sections I put together are still problematic. I need help
with a few things, and they are

1 : I need to know what the calling conventions are in DJGPP C++, and how
to 'return' from a function that consists entirely of inline asm. Something
similar to returning any word values in the AX register as is Pascal's
calling convention. Unfortunately my knowledge of the DJGPP compiler is not
that great.

2 : My wait retrace function is screwing up, and it won't assemble
properly. Where can I get the full AT&T/Unix ASM specs in one document that
is NOT an FAQ. (I don't find the FAQ format helpful, because my questions
generally aren't answered well, or are phrased so differently they take an
age to find!)

3 : For quick help, I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me the syntax
for JMP and labels in AT&T ASM.

Thanx stax,
James
