Subject: Re: ? ASM S error flag

David,

Appears the S error flag in ASM is harmless - I use it all the time to
put little messages to the user within code so it will say things while
assembling.  Never appears in the final assembled code at all.

I make it a habit to comment out ASEGs and other stuff unique to other
assemblers (juuuust in case...), but you're right - sometimes ASM yelps
and sometimes it doesn't.  Weird.

I suggest you look at the Public Domain linking assembler LASM.COM (available
via Anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20 micro:<CPM.ASMUTL>LASM2.ASM (I believe).
Faster than ASM, same rules apply, PLUS you can link segments together in the
simplest fashion!  I'm using it right now to link together a bunch of
segments for KERMIT 4.0 (test), and works just fine and fast.  You can also
get a symbol file out of the thing too.
