No, but an edited 'diff' of the assembly output of a 'C' compiler doesn't
really tell much. Note, no line numbers, no clue as to what the diff
was about. The actual defective section of code would be much more
instructive. For instance, is this as a result of an in-line macro
expansion; the result of a <CR><LF> 'dos' file; the true output of
a 'C' file with no __inline__ __asm__?

I was going to compile a list of innovations that could be
attributed to Microsoft. Once I realized that Ctrl-Alt-Del
was handled in the BIOS, I found that there aren't any.
