But, the Mandelbrot program that was posted has assembler code in the AbasiC
loader and it is commented.  I see that as a good way to post Assembler
source (now if they could only do that with C source).  I hope that there's
going to be a way for us Amiga users to get programs even though we don't
have C or the 68000 Assembler.  How about forming local user groups where
the group would have all the compilers and its members all chip in to buy
them?  Any better ideas, anyone?
