Does the inline assembler in PowerBASIC Console Compiler
allow me to use the following assembly language instructions?

X87
MMX
SSE
SSE2
SSE3
EM64T (aka AMD64)

(To be *really* complete, it would support the following
obsolete AMD instructions

3DNow!
Enhanced 3DNow!
3DNow! Professional

but I don't need them; AMD is now following Itel's
lead and supporting SSEx instead)

If I were Bob Zale I would make the inline assembler
instruction set default to standard 386 instructions,
but also look for a .ini file and, if it finds it,
use any additional instructions defined in that file.
That way the user could adapt his compiler to whatever
processor he is targeting -- even future processors
(SSE4 anyone?).
