To take your points in reverse order: Tachyon produce a free HLA compatible assembler. IBM produce one that may or may not be free. There may be others too. Yes. I agree, Linux/390 would seem a logical first step. Gas is brain-dead, I wouldn't use it. It WON'T work for my examples as it supports, as far I know, neither USING nor MACROs, let alone the doubts you have. Finally, my examples are just that, examples. It is not a specification for a final product, it is a wild theory based on zero knowlege of the internals of the compiler. I can come up with a few others if you don't like that one. In fact, episode 6 may just do that, but it will be a while before it appears. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
