Wowser! How the h*ll can anyone write any ASM at all! This gives the word
'pain' a whole new meaning. 

[lessee here ... compile C code with -g -S, look at output .. compile
assembler with -g flag, debug .. mumble]
Looks like the compiler has to stud the assembly-lang output with debug
glop, which gets passed to the assember, then the linker. There is no
earthly way I can reproduce all that by hand ... egad. 
It would be nice if I could write an assembler file 'a.s', then fool it
with gcc -S -g a.s -o aa.s , and get aa.s loaded with symbols, but no go. 
*sigh*
Well I suppose this is why people use high level languages ... or CodeView.
