I was converting a program that I wrote from Turbo C++ to DJGPP (which I
just got) when I discovered to my horror that all of my inline assembly
didn't work!  The documentation is so cryptic that I can't make heads or
tails of it.

Can someone please explain how convert Turbo C++ inline Assembly to
DJGPP's format?  For example, one piece of my code looks something like
this:

 __asm {
        push ds
        mov cx, DOUBLE_BUFFER_SIZE
        les di, temp_video_buffer
        mov ax, 320
        mul zero
        add di, ax
        lds si, temp_double_buffer
        rep movsw
        pop ds
   }

(As you can guess from the variable names, this is *suppose to* copy data
from a double buffer to the real video buffer.)

Thanks!  ...this is driving me crazy!
