And when Clair says "assembler", he means "native assembler", not Macro-32.  Writing any new code in Macro-32 is highly discouraged except when you are perhaps fixing a bug or adding something minor to existing code.

I pay a bounty for any existing Macro-32 module converted into ANYTHING else [C, BLISS, even COBOL :) ]  There have been some conversions into C lately and I owe several dollars to co-workers.
