Well, it is the only assembler which I have come across which will
directly produce an COM file, and that was something I was looking for
when I was writing a series of small, compact, utilities.  Besides which,
I also know it won't produce DJGPP compatiable OBJ's because it doesn't,
(didn't) produce 32 bit code unless set up to do so.
