I meant for the G4. And you're never going to get anything like NASM  
to work with XviD on your PPC machine. Nor will YASM, or anything  
like that. Those are x86 assembly apps. I don't believe there are any  
assembly apps for PPC.

Oh, minor thing, but you might want to check your mail app, it seems  
to bust up text quoting.
