	After putting up with Manx's assembler for over a year now, I 
decided to try out the PD A68k assembler.  Besides having to add END
statements to all my modules, everything compiled without problem. 

	There was one difference though, the object code size for the
A68k code was 30% _Smaller_ than that of Manx's AS.  Is there something
that AS includes in it's .o files that A68k is not?  This coupled with
the fact I can use BLink instead of LN has made me switch my assembly
enviorment.

	Just wanted to pass on some information I found out.  8^)
