   	Not this worn-out complaint again!   
      
   Try using stack locals [ebp+HH] .  Often just as fast   
   as registers and only one byte longer instructions.   
   Obviously not as accumulators.   
      
   The key to x86 asm (and other things) is to seek out   
   possibly hidden advantages, not bemoan shortcomings.
