:-)  Don't worry, so far, I am just consensus building to prep people 
for the idea, that, one day I suspect that we may well be doing it.  No 
one said over my dead body.  :-)

I don't know off-hand, how exactly MS asm differs from C asms, nor all 
the details of MS asms, so I can't give many details.  If people want 
to see what this type of support looks like, as CW asm support, they 
can check out the current apple branch.

If someone wanted to describe MS asms in detail, I'd be interested.  
Maybe the wiki would be a good place to home it.
