Great

Since JWASM has made such phenomenal progress in recent 1+1/2 months, the famous (but not really working) PO-ASM can now be considered as obsolete and dead, right ?

Tried to compile HIMEMX, but doesn't work, see shot ... hoping for later versions



Tried also IDECHECK, also buggy, JWASM seems to dislike LEA insctruction (or was it the extremely "good" OFFFFFSET stuff inside it ??? ) , finally compiled after some hacks (still getting a two-column-warning, displayed in every pass again and again), but doesn't link

COOL. OMF version of this got deleted just in HX 2.14 and the one from 2.13 doesn't work

WOW !!! Stack is a decaying technology

Most other things obviously can't compile because of all those uncountable extremely heavy include files, some of them are not available at all ...
