QuickC Version 2.00 has the ability to handle assembly-language
instructions in your C program. This feature is built into QuickC
Version 2.00 and does not require an external assembler program.

In-line assembly instructions can appear at any place that a valid
C statement can reside. The following is an example using in-line
assembly:

    void main ()
    {
      .   ( C Code )
      .
      _asm {
             mov    ah, 5
             mov    al, 1
             int    10h
           }
      .
      .
    }

The _asm designates the code that follows as assembly. QuickC uses its
In-Line Assembler instead of the compiler. The _asm keyword can be
applied to individual assembly statements and blocks of assembly code.
As in the above example, the block of assembly code is delimited by
the {} braces. If you have only one assembly statement, the {} braces
are not required.

If you want to place more than one assembly instruction on a single
line, place the _asm before each instruction, as in the following code
fragment:

    _asm    mov  ah, 5   _asm   mov  al, 1    _asm  int 10h
