Some things, like better macro processing, might be, but if Nasm gets much bigger it won't compile on 16-bit anyway! Nasm's successor might be better off as 386+. No law that says it has to run as a cross-assembler on "anything that's got a C compiler", either, tho I think it's a nice feature. I doubt if many people use it, and perhaps Nasm-as-is would suit their purposes, as well. If there are significant advantages (such as a more appropriate language) to limiting the "cross-assembler" feature, it shouldn't be ruled out. > ...and visit my website at rm-f.net to glance at some Limbo source...
