Why not release PALASM source and let the workstation folks port it to
their favorite machines?  (I have mixed feelings about GNU licensing,
but PALASM may be a good candidate.)

We moved from PALASM on a PC (2.23A?) to ABEL on a Sun and have been
quite pleased.  PALASM's "user interface" was a pain and the program
crashed too often.  I hope things have improved.
