2. Find the assembler in that software, and determine:
* How much assembley-language code is present
* Which platform(s) it is used on
* Why it is there (what it does)
* What happens on other platforms
* Your opinion of the value of the assembler code VS the loss of portability/increase in complexity of the code.
