Jack,

The best use of "ifp1" is when you have big include files that define labels
(like skequate.lib) but don't generate code.  Makes assembly a tad faster.

    ifp1
   lib skequate
   endif

That's about it.

You should have your assembler accept Motorola's defined syntax without any
changes, no matter what else it does to extend the assembler language. If you
ever saw Grappel's and Hemenway's STRUBAL+ for the 6800 (yep, two naughts),
you'd see what I was thinking about.  The compiler recognized both 6800
assembler and a structured basic language.  It was a one-pass basic compiler
and a two-pass assembler that emitted a relocatble object file that you could
link with other modules.  The implementation was a dog, but the idea was a good
one.

Bud
