- Code in assembler language, or code that was part of an assembler?
-
- I'm not sure whether the original poster was talking about the former,
- or the latter; they're not necesarily equivalent (the assemblers I've
- used for the past 10 years or so have all been written in C...).
-
- You've responded to the former, and others have responded to the latter,
- so hopefully the original poster's question has been answered, no matter
- which they were asking about....
