    when i was working to translate the cpuid program provided by intel in
    one of their software manuals, i compiled it early, without much code,
    but some data and unitialized stuff, and one imacro definition. it
    compiled fine, but after trying to link with both of the ms vis studio
    6 linkers (provided in the 'vb98' folder, and the 'vc98\bin' folder),
    it said that a file was not found. so i searched for it, found it in
    two locations, right-clicked to open with regsrv32.exe. it reported
    that the dll file was registered, but it couldnt find the entry point.

    apparently, if i am only translating the cpuid program, i most likely
    am not someone who would know how to disassemble the file into another
    file for reading...

    any ideas as to what is happening, or do i really need to use a linker,
    and just use the .com format supported by nasm?

    thaks, james
