HELP! Is there a DECENT assembler for the C-64/C-128? by that, I mean
one that doesn't require you to re-assemble 100K of source whenever
you make a change in one small file, something with a loader which
takes all the relocatable object files and builds a runnable program
out of them. Currently, I have used both the CBM assembler and the
Merlin assembler. I find the Merlin assembler to be adequate (12
character labels, etc.), when I use the Promal editor to edit source
files (hate line editors), and the CBM assembler to be downright
scuzzy. Have heard of an assembler by Abacus, has anybody ever used
that one? I remember using an early version of Abacus Pascal once, and
it would not compile Jenson & Wirth Pascal (syntax was all wrong --
needed semicolons here where J&W doesn't, semicolon there gives error
while doesn't in J&W, etc.).
I would hate to have to write my own assembler... taking 3 weeks or so
out of my time to put together a quickie job (labels, relocating,
simple expressions, but no macros) would be a pain, I could spend that
time working on the stuff I need to do (Yet Another Xmodem
Implementation, a simple line editor, etc.).

The 6502 assembler that Mark Rinfret and I wrote to run under the C-Power development system does all that. You need to have C-Power to use it, but the good news is that the assembler itself is public domain.

The assembler is compatible with the BSO 6502 Assembler that has been used by Commodore for software development of late.

It seems to me there's enough interest to get a special message base just for C-Power. Maybe net.cmb.c or something. We could use it for problems with C, the compiler, and for posting sources. What do you think?
