Hi,

I'm creating the port (working on my third month on this project).
I'm certainly learning a lot, so I'm hoping most of these issues/items
will be resolved by something I've overlooked.
(Kind of easy to miss things sometimes - there's a lot to learn).

Good point on the underscores. Unfortunately the assembler is not very
conforming,
but I'm trying to work with what I have. I have the USER_LABEL_PREFIX
defined to get around some problems. I'm doing what I can.

Thanks,
Mike
