Kevin, I suspect that Bill's assembly routines were written for a more "standard" assembler. SAS's assembler, while it works for code written for it, is a bit ideosyncratic, and you would need to "tweak" the source code to compensate for it's ideosyncracies — most of which have to do with how the SAS assembler is designed to support the various "memory models" of the C compiler. An easier solution might be to get ahold of a more standard assembler – I would recommend the public-domain assembler A68K by Charlie Gibbs, particularly if you only need it for occasional use. If you are going to be doing a lot of assembly work, you might look into one of the other commercial assemblers (like Cape or Adept). In order to modify the source you have to work with the SAS asm command, you'll have to have a pretty good understanding of the various addressing modes used by the SAS memory models, and spend a lot of time studying the SECTION (oops, I mean CSECT) directive that's unique to the SAS assembler. Hope this helps…. …BobR
