Looks like a nice addition. I got a little confused by the term "assembler", as I though you where going to generate binary code (which got me wondering how you were going to achieve that :-)). I can't really comment much on the code, as my Tcl s..ks, but it does look nicely written, and the usage is fairly nice as well. -- Joel
