Other Limitations
·The 8048 version of TASM does not check for use of memory beyond any reasonable bounds (e.g. an 8048 has a maximum address space of 4 Kbytes but TASM will let you pretend that you have 64 Kbytes).  
·Expression evaluation has no operator precedence in effect which can make for unexpected results if not explicitly grouped with parenthesis.  
·First page of listing file will not show a user defined title (defined via TITLE directive).
