 However, let's return to the first
sixth issue, where we look at
Vali turbo assemblertASM version
3.0.  As it turned out there were
glitches, but what to expect, BEtA
version after all.  It was about them
published in the fifth issue
ZX-REVIEW for this year (1995).     
                                
 The errors were as follows:
                                
1. The command Merge file did not work
 For some reason in the program the length
the attached file is always

what is unknown.              
2.When swapping files during
broadcast, length generated
no code was increased by
length of the uploaded file.      
 The program simply

first we will look at the file one
