I admit to not having read the manual under discussion, but how deep
can one go before diverging as the assembly languages for SPARC, Intel,
Alpha, PowerPC, etc. are all different.  I certainly would not want to
waste paper by printing pages devoted to a feature I will not use for
a processor I do not own.

To consider a processor I do own, the standard assembly language for
Alpha is slightly different for VMS than for DEC Unix.  I would hope
ACT concentrates on a language that is source-compatible across the
operating systems.  Any nominations ?
