Hi there!
I was wondering if Microsoft C compilers have an equivalent to
Borland's register pseudovariables.  I'm trying to compile IPX/SPX
functions written for the Borland compiler in Microsoft's compiler, but
I'm receiving compiler errors.

For example, the following code:

  _BX = 0x0010;
  _AL = 0x00;

  if (_AL == 0)
    return 0;

compiles in Borland, but I get an error "undeclared variable" message
w/ Microsoft.
I checked Microsoft's Knowledge base but found nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
