They are developers of the first (68000 based) AMIGA C compiler and assembler. They also sell an embedded system version of MSDOS->68000 assembler and compiler not for the Amiga, called E68K. I believe it supports 020 and 881 code but check to make sure (The latest version of the amiga cross assembler does). The assembler works well but the pseudo-ops are non-standard (OK for new code, if you are porting code you should investigate another product or be prepared to spend time changing pseudo-ops). The Lattice product used to be one of the least expensive cross-development products. There number is (708)916-1600. Many other companies also sell 68000 cross assemblers, among them: 2500 AD software (Ad in recent Computer Language Mag.) Greenhills Inc. (located somewhere in So. California, Pasadena(?),they have developed tools for the Apple MAc and probably sell a cross assembler from MS-DOS to 68K) SDS, Inc. (located in Downers Grove,IL, ad in recent Computer Language MAg.) And probably many more companies. -Russ Sorber

There is a usable and free 68K cross assembler called A68K. I believe it was first published in Modula-2 in Dr. Dobb's Journal many years ago. Some thoughtful human being subsequently converted it to C. We used a PC implementation of this assembler in an "Introductory Computer Architecture" course. The program ran slowly on floppy-disk- equipped Intel machines. Fortunately, I found the C source on a HP UNIX machine I was administrating at the time; on the UNIX box, the assembler was very, very fast. I believe the source for this assembler must be available at an FTP site somewhere. -Brian Pane ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Pane University of Florida Department of Computer Science Class of 1991 "If you can keep your expectations tiny, you'll get through life without being so whiny" - Matt Groening #ifdef OFFENDED_ANYONE # include "disclaimer.h" #endif -----------------------------------------------------------------------
