As several people pointed out to me via E-mail (thank you very much), this is
a feechur.

Does anyone know if Heimsoeth intends to do anything about it?  I'm not all
that upset, 'cause I have the tools to handle what little assembly work I ever
anticipate doing, but I did _pay_ for the thing...

Some people apparently noticed my US email address and wanted to know how I
got the thing.  Not in the US, I'm afraid.  I was in the Netherlands over the
holidays and used the opportunity to buy the program there.

Other than the interesting concept of assembly it has, I very much like the
package.  ANSI C. _Fast_.  Great work environment.  Good docs.  Truly excelent
help feature.
