   > Is there a particular reason you have to use assembly and not C?
   The whole application is in assembly (some of us still enjoy coding in
   assembly), and rather not link to libc if I don't have to. (There are
   about 5 syscalls for the entire application, porting between each OS's
   hasn't been that hard).
   The app in question, also has been ported to Linux, Windows x64,
   Solaris and now FreeBSD, and the mmap() call is the last one to get
   working...
   > You can call C functions from assembly and vice versa.
   > You also forgot to include
   > one of MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE in your flags.
   Thanks, I'll try including one of the those flags.
   Darran
