I think it would be nice if it was available, even in asm.  If someone
wants to spend eons of time trying to figure it out that's cool.

Yes, GFA has the same LIST/ENTER option, only it's called SAVE-A/MERGE.
I thought the main idea of CVS was to compile directly from the latest
sources.  Perhaps my view point of CVS is not right.  With GFA one cannot
directly compile ascii listings, it adds an extra step.  That's interesting
though.
