[net.micro.pc] Query on Turbo EDITASM

CJS@PSUVM.BITNET (01/14/86)

I'm looking for an 8088 assembler that supports 8087 mnemonics.  The "Turbo
EDITASM" from Speedware is supposed to be a fast assembler, and a vendor
tells me is supports the 8087.  That's all I know.
     
Does anyone have experience with it, or has anyone seen a review?  I sure
would like something faster than the Microsoft macro assembler.

Here's a partial answer from my own query:  I found a review of this
assembler and a couple others in December 1985 PC Tech. Journal.  They
weren't entirely happy with it, but I think I'll buy it anyway.
     
I'd appreciate any first-hand reports.
