DOHHH! I am an idiot! In my code I had the two operands switched around! The
assembler was telling me that I was using an invalid 386 instruction. Is the
following really illegal?

   movl %eax,$_TheArray(,esi,4)

   
Now im doing it much nicer:

   Asm("... Code ...         "
       "movl %0(,%1,4),%%eax "
       "... Code ...         "
       : { No outputs }
       : "m" (TheArray), "r" (Index), 
       : "eax"); 

I LOVE the inline assembler, except for the 15 local label limit. I know I
can prefix locals with an 'L' except when the compiler inlines the code it
creates duplicate labels. Is there any way around that?

Thanks for your help
