It was so primitive that instructions longer than 1 byte, had to be

Do you want to rephrase that? I do recall a simple assembler that did not
implement alpha constant strings longer than 2 bytes (as a DW). To code a
long string you had to do something like this:
DW "EH"
DW "LL"
DW " O"
DW "OW"
DW "LR"
DW " D"
Very tedious!
