I believe you ment AX/DX for a long int or float. (High order or
segment in DX, low order or offset in AX).

Other things you might watch out for include C prefixing all variables
and function names with an underscore.  To get them to link properly
you will have to use an underscore in your assembly code.  Also,
you need to remember that in C, the calling routine needs to clear
the stack of any parameters passed into the function.  For instance, if
you push an integer onto the stack and call a C function, you need to 
pop the stack upon return from the function to remove the integer.

Hope this helps
