In other words, you have a technique which has been
working, and
has been tested over time. It costs nothing.
Instead, your management wants you to come up with
something new,
that will cost, at minimum, many man-hours to find, write, debug,
test, and get moved into production. It's quite possible that the
solution you come up with (e.g. Startools or its free cousin, the PDS
command from the CBT tape) is also written in assembler.
You might start by asking your management why they want to
waste
money or man-hours in a tight economy. You might also tell them that
you're *not* using assembler; you're using an executable program
that's very little different from any other executable except that it
does just what you want it to do.
