G'day!
I heard today about the DigiSoft's powerful new assembler for the
Amiga called Macro68. It supports the entire Motorola M68000
Family upto and including the MC68030, plus the MC68882 FPU,
MC68851 MMU, and Amiga Copper instructions.
Its lightning fast, multi-pass, and supports the new assembler
syntax designed by Motorola for the addressing modes provided by
the new generation of Motorola CPUs. A utility is provided to
painlessly convert from the old syntax to the new syntax.
Most features of Macro68 are limited only by available memory.
It also boasts unparalleled macro power. Many new and innovative
assembler directives ease programming.
Full listing control including cross-reference capabilities is
included. A user-accessible file provides the ability to
customize directives and run-time messages from the assembler.
Macro68 is fully reentrant, and may be made resident. An
AREXX(tm) interface provides "real-time" communication with your
editor. A number of directives enable Macro68 to communicate
with AmigaDos(tm). External programs may be invoked on either
pass, and the results interpreted.
Possibly the most unique feature of Macro68 is the use of a
shared-library. The library is always resident, and allows the
use of preassembled, resident include files for incredibly fast
assemblies. These may be the standard Amiga files, or any header
files may be used. Additionally, a configuration file may be
defined that will setup a particular environment, or insert
specific in all assemblies.
Macro68 is compatible with the directives used by most popular
assemblers. Output file formats include executable object,
linkable object, binary image, pre-assembled symbol tables, and
Motorola S records.
Suitable for all Amigas with at least 1 meg of memory.
It should be available by the 1st of September.
