Just a bit of a nitpick, though: Mr. Hyde, the argument in your last
post is fallacious. Of course it's true that no one has ever written a
program in MASM that couldn't be translated to HLA, this is true of any
compiled language. It's also true that no one has ever written a
program in, for example, C++ that couldn't be translated to HLA, and
I'm sure nobody calls C++ an assembly language.

He pointed that out because some people like to use the arguement "you
lose control in HLA compared to other assemblers" (or some variation
thereof,) implying that there are in fact things you can't do in HLA
that you can do in other assemblers. It's naturally bogus (due to the
fact that your 'control' is very situational), but worth pointing out
to people who might not know any better.

Peace out,
