Dear Gordon
You asked why i code in asm and not in c.
As a bad manner i will ask you the question
the other way round. Why using c?
Okay for a little explanation why i use asm:
If you look at my code and the sample c code at 3com
you won't find much difference.
Only saving and restoring the registers is different than
c and ahh the return values come in regs and not in
and have to be copied to the variables.
Another point is that i can code a little bit more specialiced
than in c. Not really much because as i told there is only few
difference.
A point not to use asm is that there is much less documentation
for it, the include file for the assembler is really old
and not updated to the new feature sets and there are only some
sample apps. But that are all problems which can be solved :)

Hmm i don't get this point?
Normally i never have to call link in an asm program. This is all done
by the assembler macros. So i don't know what you mean?
My problem is still not solved, so if someone has an idea please
let me know.
