In Microsoft C(++) you have to use in-line assembler instead.

_asm {
 mov bx,10
 mov al,0
 cmp al,0
 jne not_zero
}
return 0;
not_zero: ...


(Yes, I know you can do this more efficiently--I'm trying to copy the 
logic of the "C".)

As with Borland, you can avoid the {} and put _asm in front of every 
line. Unlike Borland, there is no option for using a full assembler with 
the inline stuff.
