Here is a trap we have just found to look out for. The Topspeed assembler does
not produce a warning on mixing "byte" and 16 bit registers. (Other assemblers
do) eg. mov byte ax, [fred]
In this case the location above "fred" will also be accessed.
Scanning for these programmer errors will have to be done manually.
Incidentally has anyone looked at Bruce Barringtons comparison of C4W and
Delphi). TopSpeed sound desparate.
