Why not use IBM's HASM? It has a lot of the nice features of ASMG
and has the benefit of being *the* standard IBM assembler these
days -- it's required if you have any XA or ESA based systems
anyway.

It has one other big advantage: if you're a Higher Ed Software
Consortium member, HASM is *cheap*.
