Yeah, I was thinking about that.  But I'm a bit hesitent to do that.  I'm not
quite sure how it would affect the program.  Some parts don't want the stack
modified...so this might cause a problem with function calls.  Right now, we're
using watcom c, and they have the #pragma aux ... type statements for inline
assembler.    This allows for such things as long as u specify which register
the return value will be in.

For example, they can do the following and use it directly like a function
*********************************************
uns * CALC_POR_PTR(gaddr addr_first_par) ;
#pragma aux CALC_POR_PTR \
   = "lea eax, [ebp+4]" \
   parm nomemory [eax] \
   value [EAX] \
   modify exact nomemory [EAX] ;
*********************************************

Thanks for the help,

Yamin
