Rick,
That looks exactly like I outlined it. Two chunkx of assembler around some C
code. (Unless you mean that the C func is external to the asm func).
For an example, see 'beepit', a little thing I wrote years ago to replace the
DisplayBeep() function, allowing an audible beep. The routine in question is
called from any code that calls DisplayBeep().
As far as I know, it the C func does not have the assembly wrapping, there
are some rather nasty assumptions made, and it is for this reason that the asm
stuff is inline.
I can think of a LOT of places that you would call a function externally.
Think interrupts and SetFunction.
