If LuxAsm is using *separate* programs for these functions, there should be
no problem. That is, the assembler module could crash during assembly and it
wouldn't affect the editor (and the file it currently holds). The problem
with RosAsm is that it is all one monolithic program. If one line of code
crashes, the whole system comes down and any unsaved work is lost. This is
true whether the crash occurs in the editor, the assembler, the
disassembler, or in the ASCII chart display. But as long as LuxAsm is simply
a "driver" program, that invokes all these other processes independently, it
is sufficiently decoupled that the problem does not exist.

As for Rene's comments about "it's just another 'brick & brock' IDE"
(whatever that means, it must mean something in French because it doesn't in
English), well, he's always complaining about things he doesn't understand.
And the fact that he wouldn't have a clue to to properly design an IDE
system is the same reason he bitches about products like LuxAsm or RadAsm.
