If it worked, it wouldn't be too bad, but as it is sold by IBM it has annoying limitations. The program is S-L-O-W and has bugs. I'm interested in alternatives. There is a new version of the Assembler out from Microsoft - is it better? faster? less buggy? Has anyone used the Assembler+Tools from DRI? They know how to write assemblers and it looks pretty good. It includes a symbolic debugger, librarian, and a couple of other utilities. Does anyone know about it? Thanx for any help .....
