  PUSHSTATE

    TASM has become a complex product with many operating states. It is
    often desirable inside of a macro to have code which is 'independent'
    of the current operating state but which does not affect the current
    operating mode. This can be acheived through the use of the PUSHSTATE
    and POPSTATE directives.

    PUSHSTATE saves the current TASM state on an internal stack 16 levels
    deep. The actual state saved includes the following:

        Current emulation VERSION, i.e. T310 etc.
        Mode selection, i.e. IDEAL, MASM, QUIRKS, MASM51
        EMUL/NOEMUL switch
        Current processor/coprocessor selection
        MULTERRS/NOMULTERRS switch
        SMART/NOSMART switch
        Current RADIX
        JUMPS/NOJUMPS switch
        LOCALS/NOLOCALS switch
        Current local symbol prefix.


    POPSTATE restores the last-saved state from the stack.
