  Because some people don't like to use shells such as AShell83 or SOS.. and 
besides, not all ASM programs are compatible with these shells. It was just 
a suggestion. If I can work out how SOS runs programs I might make a new 
ZASMLOAD, if people will use it.. it's just that I've got my own projects to 
work on at the moment.
