Let's see, to make a program, you take your editor output and pass it to a preprocessor, that output goes to a compiler and that output goes to an assembler and that output goes to a linker. Gee…how about if we pass the #asm stuff thru the compiler unchanged so you don't have to assemble and link in a separate module? Gee…that's kind of a neat idea…but nah.. we wouldn't want to mess up our C code with crappy ole' assembly would e we?
