] You are right, because of this I proposed you to add it as an OPTION.
] That is, you use it only if you want. Just like the source autoindent,
] for example.
You can add a new mnemonic for this.
Something like jrp. If you use this mnemonic, then the assembler should use
the jr if possible and otherwise the jp.
In this way, you have asprogrammer still the full control. You can still
force usage of 'jr' for relocatable code and usage of 'jp' for
self-modifiable code. While you can use 'jrp' at all other places. And all of
this in the same source without having the need for special compiler
directives are optional flags to be set in the menu...
I once made a few gen80 macros like this. However, they only worked for
backward jumps, because the macro had to know the address of the target. But
then again, many jumps are backwards because often they are used for loops...
