Serious Assembly.
Nobody really takes assembly language
seriously. Nobody, that is, except Lotus,
WordPerfect, Novell, and everyone else
who needs the tightest, fastest code possible.
But assembly is tough. . . unless you have
plenty of ready-to-use assembly language
routines at your fingertips. That’s why indus-
try leaders spend a lot of time and money
creating their own, proprietary assembly
language libraries.
You could spend your valuable develop-
ment time building a library; or you can use
Spontaneous Assembly, the complete
assembly language library specifically
designed for serious assembly language
development.
Over 600 functions and macros.
* String manipulation * Memory manipulation
* Near/far/relative heap management
* Doubleword/quadword integer math
* Array management, sorting, and searching
* Character/numeric/string conversion * Buffer
management * Date and time manipulation
* File and directory management * File I/O
basetwo
DEVELOPMENT
* Keyboard I/O * Program/environment control
* Critical error management * Screen I/O with
windowing—and more. All carefully
documented, tested, and ready to use.
Tight, fast code. Fast.
Every routine is hand-coded and hand-
optimized (in assembly, of course). And a
consistent, register-oriented parameter-passing
convention makes these routines remarkably
easy to use. With Spontaneous Assembly,
coding in assembly 1s as fast as coding in a
high-level language—without the overhead.
Powerful memory model support.
Spontaneous Assembly unleashes the full
power of memory models in assembly
language. It supports all Microsoft/Borland
standard memory models as well as custom
models and mixed-model programming. And it
gives you complete control over segment/group
names and attributes.
Extensive documentation.
A complete reference manual describes every
function, macro, and variable in detail. Step-by-
CIRCLE NO. 72 ON READER SERVICE CARD
step instructions and technical notes explain
memory models, library customization,
integration with C, and much more.
Spontaneous Assembly.
Serious assembly language programming
doesn't need to be hard any more. Now it can
be Spontaneous.

‘Serious Assembly’
Basetwo Development’s Spontaneous Assembly was a collection of hand optimised assembly macros packaged for easy reuse. As compilers improved, system resources became less scarce, and multi-architecture support became more important, these collections faded away as developers (and their downstream users) became more comfortable with just the code optimisations that a compiler could produce.
