As we had been using the stack storage concept since the late 1970's, with a suite of entry, exit, call and DSA macros, it was relatively easy to make all of our assembler programs LE-compliant for our 1998 release. For most assembler programmers, however, the thought of LE seems akin to entering the den of the basilisk.

CC has made my point better than I did.
For reasons that I have never really understood assembly-language
programmers almost always use heap storage for DSAs instead of the
stack storage they should use. (Their failure to use an extension of
such a stack-based DSA for scratch/automatic/local storage is a
little, but only a little, more excusable.)
