Indeed, that doesn't look like the right solution. Gcc also accepts
Intel syntax, with -masm=intel, but it may still need some tweaking.

Hanlon's razor: "never attribute to malice that which can be adequately
explained by stupidity".

The code in question:

> __asm {
> mov ebx, dwCardID
> add ebx, i
> xor eax,eax
> mov al, bTmp
> mov byte ptr [ebx],al
> }

Seems the equivalent to:

dwCardID[i] = bTmp;

Doing the "xor eax, eax" (i.e. "eax = 0") just before setting and
reading "al" suggest that it was not generated by a compiler, but by
someone trying to "optimize" something.
