>> Merlin is faster than ORCA/M will ever be...

Well, the newest ORCA/M (ORCA/Shell v1.2 and Linker v1.2.3 (ZapLink)) are quite
fast, and produce nice compacted code.. They also include all of the toolbox
interface files from APW Tools & Interfaces 1.1, and the capability to
integrate the assembler with the other ORCA and APW languages to make
multi-language programs...

Of course, I am on the side of ORCA/M because I won it in AOL's Twilight Time
contest... But I probably would have bought it anyway, having used the othre
ORCA languages... 

Oh, yes, and I am in no way affiliated with The Byte Works... :)
