.You missed the point !
.Inline assembly indeed requries MS-C 6.0 (and MASM or TASM I would guess).
.I once saw a program named MASM.EXE which just called TASM with some additional
.parameters, so you really don't need MASM.

	You can also use A86 assembler on Simtel. It has a .com file
	that you rename to MASM.COM and it executes like the real
	thing. I also think that it provides a more compact result and
	is _almost_ Masm comaptible.
.
.But, try it with the int86 or int86x, first.

	Weeeellll... First, it's slow. Second, you can't do anything
	other than they supply. For example, the guy is trying to
	use registers that are not passed by the INT86 routines
	(or so I understood) and it's foolish to rewrite them ;-)

	Take care.
