Thanks for the reminder, Philip; I hadn't actually forgotten about it, and I
do have it logged against 6.21 (as well as 6.20); I just haven't got round to
fixing it, I did contemplate this before releasing 6.21, but decided that it
was not desirable to delay 6.21 on this one issue alone. I do apologise to
you and other assembler users out there.

The truth is, it is not a trivial task, I am busy with another project, there
is a workaround, and Assembler users are few and far between. Of course that
does not excuse the current situation, and I shall do my best to fix it for
the next release.
