Well, since we're being precise about terms, and since the context makes this a report of an abandoned intention, maybe I don't need to reply. :) :) However: I'm not aware of any electronic copy of MIL-STD-1815 (unlike 1815A, which is available on the sw-eng site). If anyone else is aware of an electronic copy of 1815, I'd appreciate hearing about it.) I have a paper copy, however, I don't find the word assert as such in the index nor in a quick scan of the syntax summary. take care, John --------------------------------------------------- John Walker, walkerj@sw-eng.falls-church.va.us ---Assembler is a high-level language.--- .GET DSCLAIMR.STD ; & consider the effect of the insertion point ---------------------------------------------------
