So yes, your Assembler took 3 seconds vs. 3 hours, but how mainainable it is by people other that you?
The maintainability (or otherwise) of code has little to do with the specific language in which it is written, but rather in how *well* it was written *and* documented in the first place. I have seen plenty of well-written assembler code that is clear and understandable, and a lot of C code that is precisely the opposite. And of course there are many inverse examples, too. However, just because a particular language (in this case assembler) is not understood by the majority of programmers, it does not mean programs written in that language are hard to maintain. Ray P.S. This has been one of the most interesting and entertaining threads I can remember seeing for a very long time!
