I am writing a program in Megamax C, and I have a couple of functions
that are written in machine language.  Since the Megamax linker won't
link normal .o files (and I don't have AS68, anyway), I am using the
Megamax in-line assembler.  However, it chokes on the following perfectly
legal instructions which I use to save and restore the registers in the
functions that are all machine language:

movem.l d0-d7/a0-a6,-(sp)
movem.l (sp)+,d0-d7/a0-a6

I got some weird error message like "Illegal constant expression" or some
such.  Anyway, this assembles fine under AssemPro.  I've tried changing
the d0-d7/a0-a6 to d0-a6, and the sp to a7, but to no avail.  Could some-
one tell me either how to do this under the Megamax assembler, or an 
alternate (fast) method of saving the registers?  Thanks in advance.
