    You know - especially with Annie around - I've got this terrible,
    terrible thought in my head just to say "look, Randy, fudge the lot of
    them...let them stew in their own ignorances, as that is its own
    punishment"...but regardless of the temptation to say that, I must
    resist and "play nice" :)

    But, fair play, Annie is correct regards the _physical facts_ of the
    matter...yup, it does just "pre-process" HLA stuff for MASM or FASM or
    something to actually finish off the job (of course, this argument
    will _ONLY_ hold weight until v2.0 shows up and it's out of the
    "prototype" phase...so I Hope you've been preparing your speeches and
    statements ready for that eventuality, as the source code is already
    being written...and knowing Randy's usual productivity, it'll be here
    before we know it :)...
