A68K - 68000 Cross Assembler For CP/M-80 11/12/82 by Dick Curtiss - dba Quelo 843 NW 54th Seattle, Washington 98107 (206) 784-8018 AM This promotional release of the assembler (v 1.9) is provided free of charge to various CP/M users' groups. It may be passed around freely, provided that this notice is included. The first commercial release of the product will be in January, 1983. Needless to say it will NOT be free. V 1.9 assembles all 68000 instructions and addressing modes using Motorola syntax. Testing has been in progress for a couple of months, so the assembler is in good shape at this point. Automatic conversions are provided for Q, I, A and M instruction variations. Branches and absolute addressing are optimized to "short" where possible. See the file "NOTES" for more information specific to this assembler. So what is the catch, you say. The catch is that v 1.9 does not have the whistles and bells implemented. Also, the symbol table is of limited size and documentation is just a few pages of notes. See the Motorola 68000 User's Manual (MC68000UM[AD3]) for more information about 68000 instructions and the Motorola 68000 Resident Structured Assembler Reference Manual (M68KMASM[D4]) for Motorola assembler conventions. The first commercial release of the assembler, January, 1983, includes documentation, macros, conditional assembly, flow control structures and INCLUDE. It is an absolute assembler, however. The second commercial release, March, 1983, includes additional features to produce linkable object modules and a linker to put the modules together into a program. Be the first on your block to have this fine assembler. Orders received or post marked prior to January 1, 1983, receive a $100 discount off the advertised price of $260. This makes the early bird price a mere $160.
