Nope:



Bugs:

1. JWASMR misscompiles the "magic" jump in DOS3.ASM so it securely hangs (see shot) oops maybe this one is fixed in 2.04c

2. There are some aligns inside the binary and they contain random garbage rather than ZERO's. Is it documented anywhere that the aligns are expected and how they are supposed to work ?

3. The stuff is messed up inside the executable, or, more likely, fine in the executable but messed up in the source. Is this effect, if not considered as bug, documented anywhere ?

4. It produces garbage if -mz is not specified (see shot). Is this effect, if not considered as bug, documented anywhere ?
