Subject: Re: pb3.5:asm shl  di,6   why dont it werk?
The concept is excellent, but the implementation will fail.  The DW
opcode defines a WORD.  So you'll get a byte of &h61 (PUSHA) followed by
another byte of &h00, which would be the lead-in byte for another
opcode.  Change those DW's to DB and it will work perfectly.

Thanks Bob,I hope none tried that b4 seeing the correction.
I am flaberghasted(?) at my mistake,I must have typed  db about

By the way,I got the idea from a file called pbagi.zip,a library for
640x400x256 graphics,by Tenie Remmel.It was converted for power basic
compatibility by Hans Lunsing.I am asumming that Hans is the one who came up
with the idea in the first place,but again he might have saw it
somewhere too.(there are some other cool ideas there as well)
I am trying to convert some of the subs to work with mode 13h in POWERbasic
3.5.I have ran in to a real snag trying to make the primitives get drawed
into a buffer,you can read about it in
my post "drawing in a screen buffer:help".

Hello Krogg !!
That's correct. The PowerBASIC/DOS Inline Assembler supports only the 8086
instruction set and your opcodes are from the 10186, that's all.
An solution for your problem, would be:
          ! mov cl, 6
          ! shl di, cl  (4 steps on a Pentium, 8-30 on a 486 cpu)

In 3.2, use pointers, and keep it simple & fast too.
(Assuming TEXT string is dynamic.  If it's a fixed length string,
change STRPTR32 to VARPTR32)
DIM txtptr as byte ptr
txtptr = strptr32(TEXT)
txtptr = txtptr + b% - 1
print chr$(@txtptr)
in 3.5 use indexed pointers
DIM txtptr as byte ptr
txtptr = strptr32(TEXT)
print chr$(@txtptr[b% - 1])
To use assembly, you'd have to call $GetStrLoc, and then read the
byte-offset from there.
