Hey-I resemble that remark, except for the crummy part! Pure C , the K&H kind, would be pretty comfortable for kost any assembler programmer. In very much is based on Macro-11, which is PDP assembler. Now C++ is a whole different animal, one i often wish would go extinct! Sent from my iPhone

Please, please don't succumb to the C people.  Don't allow them to make Assembler look like C, or far, far worse, like C++.  This comment about adding the :: looks a %^&^*-load like a C++ operator.  PLEASE, don't let the people who are crummy C programmers force you to conform to THEIR conventio
