For the Commodore 64 and/or 128, I recommend the "Machine Language for the Commodore 64 and 128" By Jim Butterfield. Excellent examples for about any routine that you would want to use.

I have to agree, and take this opportunity to again edify a book that is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to learn proper programming I've seen. I started out on a 64 in Basic, graduated to ML on it, then jumped to the 128 and went hog-wild with my own hand-hacked version of Lads. (Tho I still thank the guy who introduced me to Merlin on the 64.) Since then, I've been able to absorb programming languages like a sponge, because of the excellent foundation that Mr. Butterfield's book gave me. I picked up Vax Macro so fast I nearly fell over backward. If you're at all interested in learning machine language, but have been intimidated, get this book! -- Brendan Kehoe | Soon: brendan@cs.widener.edu [ Oct 16 they say; tune in & see ] For now: kehoe@scotty.dccs.upenn.edu | Also: brendan.kehoe@cyber.widener.edu "I've tried to forget you, but my Calvins won't let me."
