	That is irrelavent.  MASM 4.0 is out now. There is only ONE other
assembler out there that has anywhere near the features and functionality:
pasm... but it is not cheaper than masm. ( I own a copy of both ) Although,
the debugger available ( for additional $400 ) is MUCH better than the 
microsoft symdeb and codeview ( as used for asm debugging )

	The real question is in comparison of who has what to offer at
*present* ... and not who *had* what.

	Throw away your old MASM 1.25 , uSoft usually will update it for a
reasonable fee.
