Bernd, there is lots of assembler application code still in use. Many of those
applications are critical enough that companies will be looking for young
programmers for many years.

I sometimes say that Assembler Language programming is something that lots of
people do, but they don't like to discuss in public.

Regards... J.

I taught my macro course in the early 1990s the last time. I had 9 participants,
all from the same company. I'm working as a free lance consultant for this
company without interruption until today. No need to teach other people since
then.

The last ASSEMBLER course was 2004, by the way. Only 4 participants. In the next
few years, we will run into problems, because many of the old people retire, and
there are still many ASSEMBLER modules around. That's systems programming, not
application area. Maybe good for me (I'm 51 only), but I cannot do it all alone,
and it's hard to find younger people that want to do ASSEMBLER etc.

Kind regards
Bernd
