Hi Alex, equiv -> .set align -> .space string -> .ascii (check the syntax ...)

Info from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Mac_OS_X Mac OS X Mac OS X v10.5 supports 64-bit GUI applications using Cocoa, Quartz, OpenGL and X11 on 64-bit Intel-based machines, as well as on 64-bit PowerPC machines.[17] All non-GUI libraries and frameworks also support 64-bit applications on those platforms. The kernel is 32-bit. Mac OS X uses an extension of the Universal binary format to package 32- and 64-bit versions of application and library code into a single file; the most appropriate version is automatically selected at load time. Future: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard will be the first Apple OS to be able to run on a 64-bit kernel. Initial reports indicate that Snow Leopard has a "32-bit compatibility mode" to deal with applications that depend on a 32-bit kernel.[18] Mac OS X v10.4.7 and higher versions of Mac OS X v10.4 run 64-bit command-line tools using the POSIX and math libraries on 64-bit Intel-based machines, just as all versions of Mac OS X v10.4 and higher run them on 64-bit PowerPC machines. No other libraries or frameworks work with 64-bit applications in Mac OS X v10.4.[19] -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picol...@software-lab.de?subject=unsubscribe
