The QNX C compiler from Quantum Software of Ottawa, Ontario, has an
inline assembler feature.  It looks like a function call.  You say

	asm ("mov dl,lousy_instruction_set") ;

for example, and the line gets passed on to the assembler pass.

This compiler costs $650, but it comes with a multi-user, multi-tasking,
network operating system, assembler, linker, debugger, full screen editor,
terminal independence package, graphics libraries, 8087 support as well
as floating point emulation, etc., etc.  Actually, the compiler comes
with the operating system, not vice-versa, but don't tell anyone.  No
one out there seems to think anything's wrong with PC-DOS.
