Does anyone have recommendations for a good but reasonably simple assembler for the Mac (i.e., without requiring the kind of overhead needed for MPW)?

(I tried to mail this, but the mailer went berserk, looping among pescadero, mickey, and kermit.stanford.edu.) Two possibilities: 1. THINK C. Yes, it's a C compiler, but just say asm { } and it's a decent assembler. $149 at MacConnection. 2. MDS. Old and crufty, but it still works. (Sort of. I'm using 2.0, which is a bit outdated, and it doesn't get along well with Multifinder. It even dies occasionally without it, but not so often that I care much.) Used to be sold by Apple, then APDA, now back home with Consulair. About $80, if I remember right. I'm not sure where you can find it except direct from Consulair.

There is still MacAsm from Mainstay. I think it's <$100..a very FAST (ram based) macro assembler.

I have seen and used (a little)_ looked pretty good. But the version I saw was relatively old. Can anyone comment on McAssembly and/or its current status ? Eric W Sink e-sink@uiuc.edu
