went)

Must be the "nearly Friday effect":  I read that directive as:

  {$assmode intel}

Which made me wonder what other settings might be valid for such a
directive...

:D 

(cue jokes about Big/Little Endians ... )

Hi Paul

I told a lie. {$asmmode intel} does work, but not if you foolishly put 
it inside the asm statement. Duh.

However now I'm getting errors like

Error: Asm: 16 or 32 Bit references not supported

For simple statements like

     mov   eax,[ebp]

as well as

   MOV     EAX,[EAX].TSparseList.FList

Clearly it doesn't like the square brackets.

Todd.
