I am using a Mac IIfx for embedded systems development, and while switching
some code from another assembler, I realized that MPW Assember appears to
have no bitwise operators for use in expressions.  Am I missing something?
I've got a bunch of macros along the lines of:

	move.w	#((input & $3FFF) | $4000),D0

where & is bitwise AND and | is bitwise OR.  Changing them all so that the
bit manipulation is actually done in code would really be a pain.  Anybody
want to tell me I'm unable to find a simple reference in the MPW manuals or
suggest some other reasonable alternative?

	thanks in advance for any replys,
