I am trying to learn how to compile/assemble the dissolve program on
one of the Fish disks. My compiler and assembler are Lattice 3.10.

One function is :

setbits( plane, maxbit, numbits )
UBYTE *plane;
unsigned long maxbit;
unsigned int numbits;
 {

#asm
 ; register usage: d5 - max bit # to set, d4 - random generator mask
 ; d3 - current random value, d2 - byte offset in array for bit
 ; d2 - bit # to set, d1 - loop counter

reg   d2-d5

      movem.l regs, -(a7)
      move.l 8(a5), a0
	..... etc

#endasm
}

What do I have to do to asseble the assembly code? Do I have to make this
into an assembly module with ref def statements and asseble it seperately
and then link it with the rest of the program. Or is there some when of
calling the assembler when I run the C compile functions.

Thanks for any help.
