If you compile without defining "asm", all assembler will be out, with 
the exception of the code in write_time, I don't remember why there is 
no corresponding pure-Pascal version of that procedure, even the latest 
TP3 version I can access right now (no DVD-RAM due to a dead PC) already 
used inline "assembler" for that routine.

See my other reply, hhcommon.pas is on Google docs, what other sources 
are missing?
