Hrmm...inline tends to be alot of asm in itself. In essence
its just direct machine code translations that can be translated
into ASM as well. Its a way TP or BP can interface with the
bottom level (ASM level) of coding. When I did a tutorial
teaching thing on IRC I typed up ASM stuff back ...gosh?...
a decade ago? Unsure where i put it. Would have ot look.
But i believe I spoke of inline then. I personally never
used it more than moving or modifying a small register
data set. You tried a basic websearch for tutorials?
Swag has 3 inline keyword searched files. Each have comments
on what they are doing. Might learn from them and see
a pattern of what is going on.
The old ASYNC routines also may have documentation on inline
stuff as well.
Course with doorway we must ask ourselves is it worth it?
I used doorway back in the day. But haven't in a decade.
I gotta wonder who still does. With windows systems telnet
is the way to go there plus some back doors. I gotta wonder
how hard you'll have doing doorway with windows. Might
be issues there never thought of. Good luck!
I recently saw some classes in delphi that does essentially
what doorway does the other day. In delphi doorway would
likely be a few lines of code. My how far have we gotten....
