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.
