Glen, The sad reality (despite my tongue in cheek comment to Alan, and that you probably know) is that reading output of compilers is the worst way to learn assembler. Since you only see the code to actually perform the operation in the program, while all the environment set up is already done behind the scenes.

I think I started learning assembler from the code that the Fortran G and H compilers generated. Next was the Fortran G and H library and some other library routines. (A good way to learn self-modifying code.) -- glen
