Pardon me, please; I wasn't thinking when this came up a couple of months ago. I am going to need a good assembler package and monitor (the software kind) to run from disk on the C64. Absolute necessities for the assembler package are: 1) Two-pass 2) macro capability 3) link capability (linking separately-assembled routines, that is) * 4) written in machine language (!!!) 5) relocating capability * 6) ability to handle very large programs 7) understandable syntax and error handling 8) adequate documentation *I wouldn't know if there really is such a beast, but if there is, I want 'im Pleasant luxuries would be: 1) an excellent editor (although I could get by with anything moderately servicable, I think) 2) independance from C64 ROM 3) disassembler capability Absolute necessities for the monitor are: 1) Speedy loading and retrieval 2) ability to step through programs, checking registers and memory as I go 3) written in machine language (!!!) It would also be nice if the monitor were independant of C64 ROM. After the absolute necessities are met, I want to go for the cheapest set that will do the job. All replies are welcome, but send by mail, please. A special plea to whoever posted an article similar to this one once: please send me a summary of your replies. Thanks, everybody, -- --Bill Buie
