Ah. "Denial". Don't worry, it isn't so bad when you get used to it. :)

Your code... or Jonathan's... assembles silently and sweetly for me.
"as --version" reports:

What's yours?

Thanks to both of you for your replies. You've helped me identify the
problem. I'm trying to assemble the code on an x86_64 system. I
tried the code using two identical versions of as, except one was 64
bit and the other 32. The assembly code assembled fine on the 32 bit.
So I don't know if the code simply doesn't work with the 64 bit CPU or
the language of the program doesn't work with the 64 bit assembler.
At any rate I tried:
$ as --32 power.s -o power.o
$ ld power.o -o power
and got
ld: warning: i386 architecture of input file `power.o' is incompatible
with i386:x86-64 output
I then found if I put ".code32" at the top of the code it compiled but
seg faulted.
I'll use the 32 bit machine from now on.
Thanks,
Kent
