Hullo,
   I've been trying to get my program to take arguments to an assembly
function I'm writing with v2. I can get the assembly program to get
the arguments correctly, but I do not understand what length of
pointers I should have. I am passing a pointer to an array of numbers,
what size should the pointer be? I do not understand this.

  Another problem I've been having is that when I compile this
program, it gives no warnings or errors, but when I run it, it freezes
my computer. Is this because I've written of the edge of the array
over something important? If so, shouldn't it give me a Sigsev signal?
It's not. Thanks.

P.S. Thank you to all those who helped me with my Sigsev problem. I've
got that code working now. It was on a C version of a radix bit sort.
Now I'm trying to code it in assembler, as part of a learning
experience.
