In my experience Sozobon's asm will only accept lowercased symbols
for register names. Remember that it is not a full assembler
but targeted to assembling output from the compiler. Why this should
prevent it from understanding either a3 or A3 I don't know.

Btw, I've come across a bug in asm which may be fixed by now. It
concerns the btst instruction which compiles into 4 bytes when it
should be 6 (or possibly the other way around, my memory is a bit dim
on this). Anyway, if anyone knows for certain how to obtain fresher
code or a patch, I'd appreciate an email to this effect.
