Scott, why not use a normal assembler and the macro routines of any standard assembler. Microsparc puts out an assembler that translates code almost exactly like basic to pure object code, no libraries. Of coursee normally it uses the apple rom routines for function calls. You could do something similar, using macros for commonly called tasks you could just invoke the macro instead of going through every step. Code could be created on any apple using an assembler, stored to disk, and then burn your prom chips, easy as pie. I've done it several times (macros, not chip burning), so feel free to ask if you have any questions. +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Michael J Pender Jr snail mail: Box 1942 c/o W.P.I. | | Bitnet: greyelf@wpi.bitnet 100 Institute Rd. | | Internet: greyelf@wpi.wpi.edu Worcester, Ma 01609 | | User #20 at H.U.G.E.
