Hello,

	My name is Joseph Yau, and i'm currently a 3rd year student at the
University of Toronto.  I'm working for a professor during the summer, and
am responsible for writing a computer program to implement a decoding
algorithm.  However, i'm asked to write it in C and execute it using a
Pentium with MMX processor instead of a DSP processor.  He also asked me
to utilize the instruction set for MMX for the inherent parallelism in the
algorithm.  Anyway, the reason i'm writing to you is that i would like to
know if it's possible for me to write part of the code in C and some
modules/procedures in assembly language, using both the normal Pentium
instruction set as well as the new MMX instruction set, and compile all of
these with PGCC.  If so, i would also like to find out what kind of
assembler it is using, say GAS, or TASM, or NASM, cause it seems that
different assembler has slightly different syntax.  Also, i would also
like to find out how i can do so.
	I'm really new to all of these, so your help will be very much
appreciated.  If you have other places / references that you think is
helpful for me as well, please don't hesitate to tell me about it.  Thank
you very much for your attention.
	By the way, I'm not on the mailing list yet, so please reply to me
