Summary: Wonderful, but not bug-free

[]

I _love_ the Megamax in-line assembly, but look out for some bugs.
(I found these in v1.0, I'm not sure if 1.1 still has them.)

- Bcc.S   sometimes generates code with the wrong displacement (i.e.
branches to the wrong place).  Especially when you use Bcc.S -#(PC)
where # is an explicit number (why would you do that? - if you're patching
code that came from a disassembler...)

- DC.L #  does not work:  the constant # is interpreted as word-size.
