Hi Ed.
You do have another assembler, in the form of the GEOS Espire (Object
- -oriented Assembler). If you know assembly, it might behoove you to try and
use it. It's (from my observations) a superset of MASM, and is similar in
function to GOC, as relates to objects, but in an assembly sort of way. The
routines and messages would be standard assembly (note the differences in the
asm documentation), and presumably, give you greater control over those
things that you are asking about. Maybe I'll be able to use it one day after
I take the time to learn assembly and become familiar with it in more depth.
