MASM 4.0 first impression

I found about a 240% speed increase.  Now it runs about as fast as
an assembler should.  There are some new programs which allow you to
condense and EXE file and to modify its header.  These work well
and are nice additions.  Quality of the documentation is excellant.
I also found the bug which causes the warning message with "include".
Although the default condition for the assembler is not to display
the source text of a line which contains an error (it gives a line
number), you can override that with a command line switch to operate
as it used to.  Overall I'm very happy with the new release.
