I USED to use ASIC, but have not used it much in the last year or so.
ANother nice lib is Doug Herr's ASILIB. It is absically his
QLIB/ASMLIB stuff in ASIC linkable/useable format, and he takes it a
bit further than Hanlin went. IE: FULL graphics command equiv for
primitives, all screen modes (Herc thru SVGA), graphjic GET and PUT,
etc.

Agreed. For a cheap/small compiler, it does a great job!
