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.
