   FWIW, Nasm's "-f coff" output format is for DJGPP. The "-f win32" output   
   format is the variant of COFF used by Windows. The two are quite similar   
   and can often be used interchangeably. Apparently it's working for you.   
      
   I found another example - much the same as what Bogdan posted. I'm a   
   little confused by the Fortran parts. In the "equals" example I posted,   
   the assembly code returns the result on the FPU stack. I don't see where   
   we asked for that. The "summ_" example "seems" to ask for an 8 byte   
   integer, but g77 (I found I do have it) complains if I exceed a signed   
   dword (2 billion and change). Well, I don't claim to know Fortran.   
      
   This could be very important. Just in case assembly language doesn't   
   make that big comeback, Fortran might, so we should be ready! :)
