  I'm afraid just explaining the meaning of the commands is not enough to
understand the code. Assembler is, by much, the most complicated thing to
understand if you're not familiar with. I mean that, for example, knowing that
"mov" copies a something into something (for example, number into a register)
does not mean anything if you don't know what's that register used for. I'm not
an assembler expert, I'm familiar with it, but still find it too complicated to
give it a try, at least for the moment.
  BTW, you can check the assembler output window in your C compiler to see how
it traduces C into assembler... could be useful.
