I used tp3..4..5...5.5..6..7 I believe those versions over the year but jumped 
to bp7.  Didn't know they had a bp5.  

As to inline I don't do any of that stuff anymore.  Haven't in years. Best 
thing to do is study assembly in depth.  Learn the registers.  Learn the 
various aspects and the various interrupts.  Then it should fall in place.  I 
took a college assembly course so learned it then.  But today I've not used it 
maybe 5-6 years if that.  Bp7 never used it.  Tp yeah.  I'd have to dig up 
those old archives to refresh.  Right now getting more into delphi which of 
course doesn't need asm.

Good luck.
