I have ported the source code to GNU assembler, which is also a fine
assembler. There is no stuggle to compile the source. I did this since I
use a Unix(debian) environment. If Chuck was willing to use NASM, it
would not be that much trouble for me to port the source to NASM. This
would be great as well, since it would put us all on the same
page. Otherwise I see no compelling reason to convert to NASM. There is
already two incompatible versions, no sense in creating another one or
replacing one incompatable version for another. No benefit.
