[ANN] Renumbering Images with new IDs

[MisterX]

Scott,

I wouldn't dare comparing the environments... Both have their purpose and
place... They are different products despite being the same...

I think that to use inline ASM in rev you need to do so in a c compiler and 
wrappit up in an external ;) 

cheers
Xavier
