No, i do not believe in a cross architectures Assembly.
This does not make any sense to me... unless the name
would be... C.

I am just saying that, once you have written an
Application in Assembly, if the used Assembler has an
implemented Flag for Encoding "for this or for that",
There is absolutely nothing, on a theorical point of
view, saying that it would impossible to substitute
the original OpCodes with remplacements, for Compile,
as long as this is nothing but what the so called
"portable" HLLs do.

Cross Architectures Assembly would imply defining a
"super-set to them all", where no version, at all,
could ever deserve the name of Assembly.

Another way, is with writting one version of an
Application, for each Processor, either with a Flag
saying which Encoder (in the given Assembler) to fire
on the given Code, or even (as already done) to have
one separated version of the given Assembler with a
different Encoders. These two solutions are, in no way
"Ported Assembler". They are "Assemblers", that is,
they imply having as many Sources versions as targetted
Processors... What nobody would really want to have.

Again, an Assembler is _not_ an Encoder, even if tons
of home-made Assemblers (for DOS, for example), are not
anything significatively more than Encoders.
