Zortech C++ allowed instructions to be assembled from integers using the asm() pseudo-function.  For example:
asm (0x8C, 0x96, 0xCC, 0xFE);
DigiMars C++ does not provide this function. Therefore, you need to replace asm() calls with calls to __emit__.  For more information, see “Using Assembly Language Functions."

You're right. That instruction only does anything on the original 8087, and isn't even documented by later processor manuals, when the inline assembler was written <g>. I'll see about adding it. In the meantime, you can get by with:
