Wow, exactly. Our code just doesn't jibe with LE and there seems to be no way around it...

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.

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.) John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA
