Not needing to know opcodes?!?  Lets see that person figure out whats wrong
with thier program when all they get is a core dump layed on thier desk in
the morning!  :)    These HLL programmers are a real pain in the neck,
guess who they all come running to when thier program blows up?  Like I
have nothing else to do!  I agree with the above posts, that knowing
Assembler will make anyone a better programmer, being able to properly
allocate arrays (You did get it right mquinn!) and debug a program from a
core dump are VERY valuable skills.  Skills that a lot of programmers lack.
I guess I should look on the bright side, this apparent lack of skills
just makes me more valuable (can I have a raise now boss?)
