Windows Readfile & WriteFile (from MSDN):

There we go! Always nice to hear from somebody who's not afraid to RTFM! Myself, between "too lazy" and "too down on MS", I haven't learned much Windows code.

Now, if Windows is what TK is looking for, we've got something to go on. I don't know what "overlapped buffer" means. "When in doubt, push 0" usually(?) works. And we still need to figure out the "hfile" for stdin and stdout...

TK still hasn't said "what OS". His header indicates "Mac", in which case *none* of this crap will work. Nasm's Mac support ("-f macho") is still in beta, so that probably isn't it. (if anyone *has* an x86 Mac, we could use some "testers"!)

Thanks for the feedback, Arargh! We really *need* a little "signal" to go with the "noise" around here!

Best,
Frank
