On a related note,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Does programming the VAX under Unix fair any better in terms of
assembler quality and documentation?<br>
I appreciate that assembler programming for Unix may be frowned
upon given the C heritage.<br>
<br>
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong... about anything!<br>
<br>
Regards, Mark.<br>
