"A REAL programmer can write a FORTRAN program in
any language."
A Real Programmer can write assembler in any language :-). I am not a
Real Programmer, but I once translated a short 6502 assembly language
routine into Pascal, with procedures called 'ADC' and the like. The
reason was I was trying to figurte out the checksum routine in a
Commodore printer ROM -- I wanted to modify the ROM so the printer would
take ASCII rather htan PETSCII. Yes, I did do it.
