- I am very interested in obtaining such a cross-assembler, where did you get it?
- Is it commercial (I assume not, because you've got source) or PD? It really
- shouldn't be that hard to get it to write out in any format you want.
-
- I am primarily interested in running it under Unix and converting it to write
- Atari executables directly. The reason is that I kind of like having access
- to my hard drive, 80 columns, and a fast CPU. I do have a ANSI compiler, but
- I am really interested in the assembler itself.
-
- If you could put it on BART or mail it to me (assuming it is PD), I would
- greatly appreciate it.
-
- PS: The reason I am posting this message instead of sending mail is that for
- some reason my mailer software didn't send correctly. It seems to work OK
- most of the time, however.
