The trick, if you have a lot of errors to fix, is to do them from the bottom up. Also, most assemblies takes seconds. I grew up in the one overnight assembly era and every shot was precious, but now I have gotten lazy: fix the most egregious errors and assemble again.
You know what I dislike: the PTF or release numbers in ~63 to 71, taking up a good fraction of the available comment area.

Sadly, the absolute source line numbers become ambiguous when you add / delete lines. In maintenance mode, this was usually not a problem. In dev mode, it was only occasionally annoying. I personally prefer this area contains the PTF number. When diagnosing problems, it allowed us to easily determine when and why that line was modified. Far more useful than line numbers. Jon.
