Other than a few minor tweaks to some of the low-level string handling routines in SysTools, I didn't touch any of the ASM code in the TurboPower products. That was indeed largely Julian's bailiwick by the time I was at TP. We were actually just starting to talk about addressing 64-bit issues in some of the products when TurboPower was dismantled.
