I can see that it would be nice if GWASL could be upgraded to deal  
with macros in the way that GWASS does. One of the changes to GWASS  
to allow assembly of SMSQE source was to translate macro calls  
written for Qmac to the style needed by GWASS. To transfer all this  
to GWASL would be a largish task. However, the source code for both  
assemblers is available so it is open to anyone to have a go.
