Help. My program just dosent compile with DJGPP. It's an assembly file. 
I got it from Dan Gookin( it may have a link on his web page at 
http://www.c-for-dummies.com, just in case there is some copyright 
notice ). I renamed it from hellow.c to hellow.s and tried to make an 
exe with as.exe. But it gives these messages:
hellow.s: Assembler messages:
hellow.s:1: Error: no such 386 instruction: `void'
hellow.s:2: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `{'.
hellow.s:3: Error: no such 386 instruction: `char'
hellow.s:5: Error: invalid character '_' in opcode
hellow.s:6: Error: invalid character '_' in opcode
hellow.s:7: Error: invalid character '_' in opcode
hellow.s:8: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character is `}'.
hellow.s:8: Error: Can't open hellow.exe for reading.
hellow.s:8: hellow.exe: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

In what ways can I solve the problem ?  The s file and c file are given 
below.

Thanks
