Similarly I have "27KASM", which as its name suggests allows up to 27k of
source/variables since it assembles to disc direct. I also have one which
runs on a Tube allowing sources to be split across multiple files while
allowing cross referencing of labels.

Both chew assembler in tokenised BASIC files

Acorn's MASM is quite fun too, as it has syntax just like ARMASM does now
from ARM (or the other way round). So macros use MACRO/MEND and so on,
