Problem is there are quite many labels, and it would still make the
source (or
whatever you call it) quite big.
The biggest flaw with an oncalc assembler is that it's quite useless.
Anyone
programming assembly knows that during program development, crashes
occur
frequently. If you are at school or whatever, and the calc crashes,
you've lost
everything. Even if you could receive a backup from a friend, you would
have to
copy the source to that person every time you want to try the program.
IMHO, it's not worth spending time making an oncalc assembler,
especially since you
have to solve all difficulties you mention.
