Hi,
Years back I used to write games in Z80 & 6502. But now I'm trying to
make sense of intel assember used inline (_asm) in MS Visual C++ 6. I
need to optimise some floating point operations.
I found Randy Hyde's "Art Of Assembler" really helps for general
overview, and is clear on the FPU -- but he uses HLA.
What is the sytax of this in line _asm stuff? I hear its not the same
as MSASM?

Can any one suggest a site/book?

Thanks
