Ken - quite cute. I'm glad you posted this, as I have found myself wondering
how to cope with the myrad of idiotic assembler source formats, and how
to make sure that as I change continually one to another, when to know I've
screwed up.
God I wish that the NASM guys would have at least allowed some of the more
obtuse forms of source input, so at least we could have used a single assembler,
then worked on changing source formats...
