My view is of a "kind of" portable macro assembler, even MASM and TASM 
were more feature rich back in the day.

Actually I remember reading a DDJ article about a Texas Instruments 
Assembler that looked like C, just with one simple expression per line.

So you could not do

a = b + c * 4;

rather

r0 = b
r1 = c
r1 *= 4
r0 += r1

Just an idea, I don't remember any longer how it actually was.
