You mean, 32-bit Intel machine code (32-bit uncompiled ASM program section
that appears to plot a single pixel).  I can understand some of what you
are doing there (a little bit since I don't have much knowledge in Intel
ASM) and you are using 3 32-bit registers.  So, in order to compile this,
you must have a 32-bit assembler (like TASM 5.0)...which I don't have and
the guy who originally started this thread probably doesn't have either.
So, that's why I used C to help him on his way.
