I also noticed his use of goto's.  This isn't intended as a flame, but my
college professors would faint dead!

By the way, if the compatibility of various in-line assemblers is a problem,
why not keep most of the assembly code separate and link it in?  Then you
could use C for the "mundane" things, and the whole program would be fairly
portable, at least between Borland and Microsoft platforms.  IMHO, this would
be even more "professional".  Obviously, there's more than one way to skin a
cat, so please don't think I'm flaming anybody.
