[A86] Re: ASM Math
well the symbols are equivalent to the op codes when assembled but coding in
hex is more of a chore because you gotta calculate addresses for jumps and
data...so i guess it grows hair on your chest or somethin to that effect if
you code in hex. also assemblers give you the opportunity to use header
files, macros, etc. and point out (some) stupid mistakes you do before you
run it and crash your calc.
