So far I haven't tried gputils, but my picasm test yesterday was really=20
braindead simple, and the hex file it generated (for walk.asm) was identi=
cal=20
to the one generated by mpasm-dos, except for one space character at the =
end=20
of each line.  That's as far as I tried.

Yes, I was using mpasm/dosemu and it was a bit of an inconvenience.  Spee=
d's=20
never really been a problem for what I do.

Will try gputils today.

Cheers,
-Neil.
