A friend of mine who is an assembly language enthusiast tells me that
65C816 assembly language is rather more difficult than 65C02 assembly 
language due to the necessity of switching back and forth between 8 and
16 bit modes.  His explanation was rather sketchy and preliminary, so
I did not get a lot of detail.  It had to do with the size of registers,
I believe.  

I would appreciate any information regarding 65C816 assembly language
difficulties on the Apple IIGS.  If there are such difficulties, I wonder
what that will mean for development of IIGS specific software.
