Robert,

I just e-mailed you a test version of CCASM (3.06) that attempts to add 
these operations back for EDTASM compatibility.  However, you'll see that 
in order to keep an expression from being seen as "structure.union.field" 
since those are possible, you have to enclose any leading symbols in 
parenthesis for EDTASM compatibility:

(apple).or.3  works

but

apple.or.3  will result in an error because the expression appears to be a 
structure/field

More details are in your e-mail.  Please give it a try and let me know what 
you think before I release this update.
