I think it's still shareware - I've seen a version 3.2x that was dated early
1990, I think.  It has nicer syntax than TASM or MASM, but their price and
the extras (the debuggers, the profiler, the other tools, 386 support) make 
one of those a better deal nowadays.  Too bad.

Here's the program intro if you want more information:
