This is passed to whatever assembler the installation is configured to use. On Solaris, 'gas' and 'as' are two independent assemblers, and _either_ can be called by the compiler. And it worked fine when 'gas' was not installed. For ASN/machine code insertions, IF there are any syntax differences, I would _speculate_ that you have to use the one that works with the assembler you will be using. -- Wes Groleau Is it an on-line compliment to call someone a Net Wit ?
