Now, if someone would bring the microcontroller assemblers (PIC, AVR)
up to the level of MASM 6.x (or even the F level S/360 Assembler, or
CDC COMPASS) in terms of flexibility, I could die happy.
?I wonder how easily retargetable those assemblers are.. ?8-)

insane is that the current PIC assembler (MPASMWIN) executable is
over 8 MB.

I know--welcome to the 21st century--nobody
writes
assembly anymore.
