Surely this can be found on the Microchip site somewhere.  I keep a copy on
my disk and don't remember exactly where I found it, but it shouldn't be to=
o
hard to locate.

Once you read this manual, you will see that the macro language is rather
primitive.  It does have a few things MPASM doesn't have, but is also
lacking some important features.  For example, there is nothing equivalent
to the MPASM #v() construct.

I mostly use my preprocessor (PREPIC) instead of the ASM30 macro processor.
It has rather more sophisticated capabilities, and not just for macro
handling.  PREPIC is included in the PIC Development Tools release at
