I'm not guessing. I'm using nasm, but the gcc output is totally different from anything I understand.

Then stare at the generated code, compare to yours, and that should solve the problem. Besides, every compiler treats assembler differently. You didn't mention yours. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
