I agree; sometimes TI's motives in a lot of things seem a little suspect.
I see a lot of "some things man was not meant to know" kind of attitude in
the way TI kind of trickles out information of varying usefulness. I know
a little bit of business theory, and I can't think of a single reason why
TI doesn't release all they know about programming ASM on the 86,
ESPECIALLY since the built in asm support was a major advertising point.
