There is support for inline code, using the construct:
  asm ("
   ... assembly code here ...
  ");

Trouble is, this doesn't let you refer to local variables or parameters 
passed to the current function (which I believe BCC's asm{} does) and the 
assembler syntax requires operands "backwards" amongst other bizarre 
features.
If you're really interested, I could send you an example of inline 
assembly in DJGPP.
