Hello Sean,
thank you very much - you realy helped me a lot. I wrote to the top because this question had been already posted many times. See for instances: http://www.leto.net/mail/linuxasm/2001/msg00538.html
If this is ok for you then I would like to copy+paste your answer to all these postings I crossed.
Many thanks and cheers!
