[comp.sys.mac] What is a good Assembly Language, and what are some good books???

thandor@linus.UUCP (Mike, no not that one, no, the other one) (10/13/87)

   I would just like to get some opinions on some macro/assembly compiliers
for the MAC.  I am thinking about doing some development, or maybe just games
but who knows.  (I know some people are going to say Use ??? language,
it is much easier, and better; or don't use ??? becuase it sucks.  But, I
would really like to know mostly about a  C  enviroment, and Assembly.
those are favorite (well, assembly favoriate, I know, but if you want to 
hack with speed, use assembly) languages.  

  I would like to know if they come with debuggers, and macro interpriters
(Spell check please ...)  

  Also, does anyone have any good books about 68000 micro-processor, or
`C' books that are very relevant for the Mac.  

   Please  E-mail to me, and I will summerize if I have time, and if I
get any responces. 

   Thanks in advance...

	Well, my recommendation would be obvious, and no one would take
me seriously :-), but I personally prefer LightspeedC (as I did before THINK
hired me). It's a good C compiler, and better yet, has a fairly good
in-line assembler built-in.

	And the tech support is fantastic. :-) :-)
