Re: QUESTIONS about the TI-86!?!
No, you don't. In languages like BASIC, each command is broken up into several
assembly language instructions that do the same thing. When you assemble an
assembly language program, each instruction is simply converted into a few
bytes that represent the instruction. Because the code structure does not
change, it is not called compiling.

You must certainly do "compile" assembler code. It is just another language
just like C++ or BASIC, which is then converted into machine code.
