Just a bit of a nitpick, though: Mr. Hyde, the argument in your last
post is fallacious.

You think so?

Of course it's true that no one has ever written a
program in MASM that couldn't be translated to HLA,

Wrong. Sixteen bit real mode code cannot be directly translated into
HLA, as the latter only supports the flat memory model. In the 80s and
early 90s, all MASM code was of this type.

Which is why, in my post, I wrote:

"Well, to date no one has written a single 32-bit Windows or Linux
assembly language program with any other assembler than cannot be
directly translated into HLA."
