Thanks for the help everyone. I'll definately check out the ASM website
at Sourceforge and the HLA stuff. I guess I can study the output of HLA
code and see what is what as well as using online sites.

Maybe I should write a blog detailing my progress if there is so little
information? Makes it extremely difficult for beginners to get going.

I might add one thing. I did ask on the apple kernel mailing list once
about syscalls and have been advised to avoid them altogether.

http://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-kernel/2008/May/msg00000.html

The general advice has been to try to link to c where possible.

One of my next items on my to-do list is how to link to dynamic
libraries on OSX from assembly. If possible make it flexible enough to
choose any library it wants to at runtime, to link and call it (I'm
trying to improve on a ported forth).

If anyone's done something like that and has code to share be very
grateful. Thanks
