Well, `as' is distributed with FreeBSD. `cc' changes C code to assembler, and runs it through `as'. You'll probably find that `as' isn't exactly what you wanted, though... It's not your standard Intel-ish assembler. You'll generally want to do whatever in C. Portable. Probably gets optimized better. Much more normal. -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
