Just wondering if those guys knew that IBM calls their mainframe assembler
the "High Level Assembler", which they abbreviate HLASM.

This isn't an x86 assembler like HLA - it's a z/Architecture 
(mainframe) assembler, very different beast indeed.

But - they may want to pick a new name, lest they incur the wrath
of IBM's lawyers.   I think IBM took that name in the 80s.

Also - it seems that 'webster.cs.ucr.edu' has gone missing
from DNS somehow; so I wasn't able to look at the source, although
I was able to look at the web pages thanks to Yahoo's cache.
