I posted a short time ago about free assemblers for the 68k line. My search turned up a jewel, which I call asm20 (actually I did not give it the name). I summarized my findings to the net, and stated that I would like someone to make the source available for ftp. What I did not mean to state was that I would mail the source to ANYONE who would make it available, but to ONE person who would make it available. I have done so, by mailing it to Martin Calsyn. After a brief problem unpacking the archive, I believe Martin received it correctly, and is going to make it available. However, my mail to Martin now bounces, I don't know why. In the meantime, the requests for me to mail this thing out keep flooding in. I never planned to mail out 50 copies of this thing. Just to support the idea, I too would like to see some sort of a central archive ftp site for Motorola 68k stuff, including asm20 and the rest of the contents of the Motorola BBS. I believe a gentleman at Stanford is attempting to do just that. If I'm not mistaken, his name is Andrew Zimmer. In any case, for the time being, I have placed asm20 in a compressed tar file in /new_uploads on calvin.stanford.edu, I will inform the administrator there what I have done, and he will no doubt want to move it to some appropriate place. Anyone who wants the source to this thing, for either us or archival purposes should obtain it either from calvin.stanford.edu, or from wherever Martin puts it. Regards, Eric Eric W.

I just reread more carefully the previous messages on this subject. Furthermore, Andrew Zimmerman just responded to my mail message (he's staying up late I guess ! :-) Let me summarize : 1. I have mailed asm20 to Martin Calsyn, martin@iastate.edu, who states that he plans to make an archive of 68k stuff of all kinds, and has already downloaded a bunch of stuff. His plan is to place it all on iastate.edu (129.186.254.151). I just checked this site, and it is not yet available. 2. Brian Palmer, bpalmer@bbn.com called for an ftp site of the same nature. 3. Michael Parent states that there is a site with a bunch of stuff at smilodon.cs.wisc.edu, which may not be exactly what we're looking for, since it appears to deal more with OS9. 4. Andrew Zimmerman is running an ftp site at calvin.stanford.edu, which contains a number of motorola packages. I ftp'd asm20 to that site. Andrew immediately responded and said he will place it in the archive, but the archive may be temporarily down for a few days very shortly. I don't want the job of coordinating any of this, I simply want to NOT be contributing to confusion. I support both Martin and Andrew in their efforts and service in making things available to the rest of us. I hope I have stated things accurately. Corrections are welcome. Thanks, Eric Eric W.
