SI>>> I think that after all, XAS is the coolest and most convenient assembler

Ihmo, this is not so important, this drawback is negligible compared
with cool bells and whistles, for example, auto-formatting, line selection,
when assembling, lines are marked, then you can run through them by simply
pressing two keys, two (three) windows, procedures, macros, etc. etc. !!!
(I am silent about the speed, Ihmo - not the most important thing, although Has has the highest).

Be it, Evgeny !!!

SI> Ihmo, this is not so important, this shortcoming is negligible,
How can I tell you... Personally, it doesn’t bother me _always_ to “squeeze” into
42 characters. In addition, as far as I remember, XAS does not allow you to include
Russian characters in the text (not as a comment, but, for example, as a DEFM string)
SI> in comparison with cool bells and whistles, for example, auto-formatting,
SI> line selection,
This is of course good, but what do I need XAS for beautiful text formatting ?
SI> when assembling, the lines are marked, then you can run through them simply
SI> by pressing two keys,
You forgot a little. Not just “lines”, but “lines containing errors”. :))
I agree, this is a plus, but IMHO - it still doesn’t outweigh the minuses.
SI> two (three) windows, procedures, macros, etc. etc.

I agree with the same thing, but still...

Good luck! Evgeny.
