I have tried to reach you by email, but the mail was returned to me, 
so I'll post it here.

In reply to your article in comp.sys.ibm.pc:

To access external routines from assembler in C you have to declare them as
PUBLIC (e.g.  PUBLIC _AsmRoutine). To use C routines in ASM it is sufficient
to declare them as EXTRN (they must not be static in C of course).

Besides that MASM is NOT case sensitive by default (C is). MASM converts all
input to UPPER CASE. To make MASM case sensitive, use the /Mx option.

This should solve your first problem.

P.S. I have no experience with mice.
