The problem is with the speed of DEC Macro Assemblers. They are and always have been VERY SLOW, there for a compiler writer never uses the standard one. She/He normally must generate object code directly and build an object code displayer to print out object code. I really don't know if BLISS-32 does it this way but FORTRAN and Pascal on VMS do. Otherwise, I think this work is very interesting. Steve Schwarm Foxboro Co. genrad!wjh12!foxvax1!scs
