As far as I know, Apollo has NEVER shipped an assembler for their systems... They have a simple tool for in-house use for developing libraries and optimizing graphics, etc. But nothing commercial... Anybody else know something different??? Is there a GNU Assembler? Sincerely, Philip D. Pokorny :)

They used to, after some pressure, to supply an assembler. My version is "ASM, version 9.15", by now I believe the current version is higher. It follows the Motorola asm format closely - thus it is not what you'd expect for a unix assembler. -- ORIGIN '~jnp/stdDisclaimers'; [[--- Regards, J|rgen N|rgaard ('|' is '\o{}' in \LaTeX{}) | | e-mail: jnp@tele.nokia.fi || Telephone: +358-0-511-5671 | | mail: Nokia Telecommunications, PL 33, SF-02601 Espoo Finland ---]]

Sure. Get the gas source from prep.ai.mit.edu and the gcc patches for
Apollos from labrea.stanford.edu. They also contain patches for gas to
produce Apollo-compatible binaries.
Hope this helps,

Yes, there is gas, and since gcc has been ported to Apollos I presume
the same is true about gas. Of course, DN10k users are out of luck.

Apollo has never shipped the assembler as a fully supported product, although MANY of Apollo's OEMs have been given the assembler through tech marketing. It came VERY close to being a real product several times, but hit a snag each time, and it did have a reasonable manual written for it. I would say that it is more than a "simple tool". I can vouch for it being commercial grade, having used it on several projects when I was at Apollo. >Anybody else know something different??? Is there a GNU Assembler? Yes there is a GNU assembler, however, I doubt that GNU assembled code will link with code compiled by Apollo's compiler (am I wrong here???). >Sincerely, >Philip D.
