If I may put in my 2 cents worth...it seems that Reinier is under the
impression because NASM is exactly what the industry specs say it should be
that PowerBASIC should make its inline assembly compatable with NASM. The
problem is that the market for assembly is dominated by MASM. It would be
economic suicide to spend development dollars to make PowerBASIC  compatable
with the less popular NASM To paraphrase myself, since the assembler market 
s
dominated by MASM, that is where the money is at (I know Bob, you allready 
said
this).
