No. The only one who feels in need of a custom
Definition of what an Assembler is... is YOU,
in order to sell an HLL Pre-Parser, under the
Name of HLA, on young heads.

The other ones do not need to re-define anything.
We all know what an Assembler is:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

* An "Assembler" is a Programming Tool that
translates the Processor Instructions Mnemonics
into Binary Code, on the base of a one to one
correpondance.

* A "Symbolic Assembler" is an "Assembler"
translating Labels Symbolics, for Data and Code,
into Addresses and displacements

* A "Macro Assembler" is a "Symbolic Assembler"
with Macros and Equates substitutions features.

* An "Assembly Compiler" is a "Macro Assembler"
that includes internal hidden Macros.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

These are the various layers of possible Assemblers
Deefintions. These have always been the definitions,
and these will always remain the definition.

There is not one single word to add to this, and
your swindling will never change a thing to this.
