I haven't.

$It seems to be very nicely put together except for the fact that I'm having
$trouble defining any sorts of labels at all.  I've tried all the different
$ways of labeling things that the docs mention.  I've made *short* files to
$try to find out what's wrong.  I.E:
$
$LabelOne:       movea.l         #4,a0
$                movea.l         (a0),a0
$                bra LabelTwo
$
$LabelTwo        move.l          a0,_ExecBase    ; colon on label name
$                beq NoExec                      ; purposely omitted
$
$      NoExec:   rts
$
$...this code is the kind of stuff I was writing to try to determine what in my
$LARGE file had caused the errors.   In a file as small as the one above, the
$same problems would occur.  Whenever I define *any* label, I get:
$
$***** 45  Label value changed between passes.
$
$...and I get this for each label defined!  Gack!
$
$Does anyone have any idea what the (CENSORED) is going on?
$
$Thanks,

Perhaps the assembler REQUIRES that you specify whether you're doing long
or short branches.  That is beq.s or beq.l, etc.

Maybe this causes errors between passes.
