i am writing FASMLIB, std library for FASM, and want to make it
seriously. Yours library is only one looking like real std library i've
seen yet. unfortunately it is limited to HLA-only by design, thus
unusable for ASM programmers.


It is usable by other assemblers. The biggest problem I can see to
porting it to FASM is using the HLA stdlib's 'put' macros since FASM
lacks type-casting. So you can't do something like

stdout.put uns32Var, nl, stringPtr, csetVar, int32Var

And have the macro sort out the correct routines to call. If there is
a way to write a macro like that in FASM, I would sure like to know
about it :)
