While I read you, I can't avoid thinking you must be true, as this is th=
e  =

only way to get variable number of parameters working for C. What is  =

confusing also, is that assembly program sometime use the stack as an  =

array : allocated room on the stack, and then do something looking like =
 =

[ebp+0] :=3D ... [ebp+4] :=3D ... and so on. But I feel to remember para=
meter  =

passing order for WinAPI is the reversed one than C. I will have a test =
 =

tomorrow to check (I am not running Windows right now).
