I was being rhetorical, but if you're samples are as good as the code of yours that I have seen, then I believe you. > I come from an assembler background (I started coding on > ASMx86 when I > was 9), you know, that nice language where you have 4 > variables called > "registers" and an array of N bytes where you can even > rewrite the code > you're executing if you're not careful enough. My assembler exposure (many years of OS maintenance) was the IBM 370 (latter 390) variant, more registers, but basically the same kind of muckity muck with the addition of channel programming; IO that modifies IO.

Heh! To paraphrase a Fortran truism: real assembler programmers can program assembler in any language...
