My main complaint with the Aztec assembler is that you can't create branch tables and have the assembler flag errors if something moves out of range. IE, if you have a list of "bra.s someplace" statements, and one or more go out of range, Aztec will just make that one into a bra.l, which creates havoc if you use jmp xx(pc,dn.w) to do a switch. With CAPE, if you say "bra.s" and a branch goes out of range, it generates an error message. …cheath
