[net.micro] CROSS

Has anyone succeded in putting Zilog mnemonics into CROSS ? I
had thought that CROSS was easy to update with new machine types
however I may be mistaken. In lieu of this, are there any good
Zilog mnemonic macro assemblers that run on TOPS-20 out there?
Pointers would be appreciated.

For what it's worth, MACN80 is a cross-assembler that runs on TOPS-20 and
accepts both Zilog and Intel mnemonics (at the same time!).  It's not a
particularly good assembler (6 char identifiers, no operator precedence...)
though it has some neat features (e.g. local labels).

There is a copy on MIT-OZ, which is not on the arpanet however...  The
source claims to come from [USC-ISIB]<RAVELING>MACN80.MAC, but that claim
is dated 1981, and the directory apparently no longer exists.  Last edit by
CASNER@USC-ISIB who apparently still exists and might be able to give you
more details.

Btw, for you local MC folks, I have brought this up on ITS -- try :GZ;MAC
This is a personal hack: no documentation and no guarantees.
