I've been working on an include file that has functions that will
convert a sequence of assembly language text to a sequence of equivalent
machine codes.  This might be close to what you want.  These codes can
then be poked into memory and called from your Euphoria program.  It is
by no means complete, I have not even begun serious testing and mod r/m
instructions, sibs, memory addresses and code labels are not yet
implemented.  On the other hand, the instruction set is fairly
complete.  If anyone is interested in testing or playing around with my
code, I will upload it to

As always with assembly language programming, be extremely careful with
what you do.  My program has not been tested as I said before; I just
haven't had the time.  I don't even have any programs that show it off,
yet.  There's very little documentation in the .e file, enough I hope
that you can figure it out.

As for #pragma and all, I haven't the slightest idea what that means.
Explain further and I might be able to do something around that.

I'm very interested to see what the response to this will be.  Email me
with any comments or suggestions, please!
