The V20 contains a superset of the 8088's instruction set. Does anybody
know if an assembler is available, either commercial or public domain,
that takes advantage of the additional instructions?

I've seen some benchmarks (I think it's in Micro/Systems Journal) that
show a large (>60%) speedup if the code is rewritten to take advantage
of the V20's capabilities. However, such increases are only possible
for those benchmarks that uses bit manipulation since the 8088 does
not have these instructions.
