Okay, here's another external assembly question:

How do I retrieve the arguments of a function written in external
assembly? I was looking at some assembly source files, and from what I
can piece together, %ebp points to the arguments passed to the function
where 8(%ebp) would be the first argument, 12(%ebp) would be the second
one, etc. However, the function I have written does not seem to want to
work. I just wanted to confirm that this is the way DJGPP does argument
passing in assembler.

I think that this is related to another problem I am having, the
assembler gives me an error about this line:

    mull 36(%ebp), %ebx

It says that the operands don't match any known 386 instruction, which
leads me to believe you cannot have this many arguments... this is pure
speculation however.

Thanks,
