Hey

i was wondering if Purebasic supports this kind of opcodes:

FISTP,FILD.FSTCW etc (all of those commands).

please let me know, Thanks Jondo

They're supported by NASM and thus supported by PB. You can bypass the PB compiler and write direct ASM using '!" character, i.e. something like this:
!FILD qword [ebx]

I use it in an application i'm doing (adding and substracting quads) and it works great.
