How did you do it?  I recall back in the C64 days the built in Basic had no
mechanism to include assembly routines.  So I'd generate the assembly with MASM
and put it in a string.  Basic had a function to get the address of the string
and a Call function (vs the standard Gosub) which you could use to call the
assembly routine.

Ahh, the good old days.
