     I want to thank everyone who sent and posted replies (so far) to my
question about interfacing an assembly routine into a Modula-2 program to
allow me to manipulate an 020 or 030 CACR register.  Unfortunately, to this
time, no joy.  Basically, the easiest way to do this is to write the routine
in assembly, assemble it, grab the actual machine code listing, and insert it
into an M2 procedure using an INLINE statement, which basically just inserts
the code sequence into the instruction program as is.  Unfortunately, the code
for grabbing the CACR blows up on me.  I've even used Dave Haynie's EXACT code
sequence from SetCPU, assembled that and tried the machine code in my INLINE
statement.  Still no luck.  (I'm usually ending up with something like GURU
$0000000E or the like)  This code SHOULD work!  The assembled version works
great...the M2 INLINE version, which is just the machine code itself inserted
in the program, dies.  Any clues from anyone else???  I'm lost. (Semms to be a
fairly normal state of being for me lately...)
