Hi,

I've recently started using inline assembly in DJGPP (GCC 2.8.1), and I ran 
into this problem. 
Instructions like movsx and movcx give an "unrecognized 386 instruction" 
error. Is there a way I can use inline assembly with the 486 or later 
instruction set? I can't seem to find much info on GCC inline asm in the FAQ 
or around the web.

Another quick question:
I believe this may have been asked many times before, but I was wondering if 
there is a way to access local variables in inline asm, without having to pass 
them in as arguments, or fiddling around with the bp.

Any help would be much appreciated,
