On a related note,

Programming in assembly language for modern Unix always seemed a bit 
haphazard to me and the assemblers a bit non-standard and poorly 
documented, but maybe I have a skewed view.

Does programming the VAX under Unix fair any better in terms of 
assembler quality and documentation?
I appreciate that assembler programming for Unix may be frowned upon 
given the C heritage.

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong... about anything!

Regards, Mark.
