[A83] Re: libraries
I think libraries would not be a bad idea....why do you think they suck so
much? If the code was written general enough to solve many programming
problems, what would be the disadvantages?

No one wants libraries. Quite simply, libraries suck. Why is the 86 the
best calc? No libraries. Try suggesting on the assembly-86 list that you
want libraries...
