 		 #180768 - Use C
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Enough said ;)

I agreed that a language standard for assembler is probably a good idea, but it's time has passed. I don't do much assembler, partly because I could never remember whether MOV A,B moves A to B or B to A. Analog Devices used a 'high level' syntax on their DSP assembler, so you would write B = A, but I didn't really catch on.
