	My advice to such people is that if they are doing any kind of
work that is intended for publication (be it freeware to the net, shareware, or
commercial product), they should expend the effort to do the work correctly,
and if they expect any kind of return on their efforts, then spending the
money ($100 for the MDS system, at last count) for a tool to get the job
done is worthwhile.

	I've found that for some tasks, a macro assembler is absolutely
essential. I'm sure that others will agree with me.

	If you're hacking in the privacy of your own home, far be it from
me to tell you what to do. :-)
