This was my first SHARE Assembler Requirements session since IBM announced the new turbocharged assembler. We spent the hour mostly patting ourselves on the back and formally closing the zillions of requirements that we've written over the last few years. We also had some discussion over how the assembler group at SHARE should proceed. Is it just for requirements anymore?

Four or five new requirements were discussed also, but nobody could get very excited about these until they'd gotten to know the new assembler.
