[ Followups directed to comp.lang.misc, which may or may not be a better place for continued discussion on this topic. ] In article <13261@steinmetz.ge.com> you write: >Does Motorola really use * for a comment?? Yes, but only if it appears as the first character in a line. Comments at the end of a line are delimited by whitespace after the operands. What's worse is that Motorola standard assembler syntax also uses '*' to denote the current value of the Instruction Location Counter: org 1000 Here equ * ; "Here" now has the value 1000 Can you say "overloaded operator"? I knew you could :-). Jim Greenlee -- Jim Greenlee - Instructor, School of ICS, Georgia Tech jkg@gatech.edu Jryy, abj lbh'ir tbar naq qbar vg!
