Metalink ASM51 and Keil A51

Assembler has no intelligence as it is working on assembly code. but the hex file generated by both of the assemblers are different and i am not sure at this point why.

Please give your comments if you have worked on such a thing.

The Keil would generate code for long call and long jump for a generic call and jmp instructions for either forward or backward references. But ASM51 in contrast, optimizes the above instructions for backward references.

Please refer the documentation of both the assemblers.
