I've looked at the latest release 0.24 source code from 2 years ago, and
the pre-release version. They have exactly 1 line with 'intel':

{$asmmode intel}

(And I'm not sure what that does exactly.)

The 0.23f and 0.20e (I haven't looked at all the versions inbetween). They have none.

Anyway, this is pascal, you can't really compare that with the C sources of FMail!

The original code of FMail did however contain some assembler code, which
of course is intel specific, and DOS specific interrupt calls. They have
all been removed in the past 10 years since I took over from Folkert.

128mb? Do they still make them that small? ;)
