Re: A89: Running asm programs (Xavier)
Thanks!! I don't exactly understand it all, but that's expected when you ask a complicated
question. Can I ask one more question? Is it possible to do this without using any libs? Like
making an independant program? Do I just substitute the lib code in my program and call it? Is it
okay if I do that?
And thanks again, expecially for commenting the code.
