  I fall under (3), and I use a small amount of assembler every once in a while.
I'm working on a version of the Berkley Pascal compiler which allows multiple
processes. There's a small amount of assembler needed to handle context swaps,
and that is essentially used as a co-routine call between C/Pascal programs.
  The only other case is where I hand-code a routine such as "bcopy" to copy
blocks of data using the VAX special instructions.
