STAR 1.04.4 is now available by anonymous FTP as: ftp.ai.mit.edu:~/pub/star-1.04.4.tar.Z Please note the change in host name from previously. No great changes, a few bugs have been fixed. Some rather serious. A new feature has been added - note that it is not present in either the AmigaDOS or MS-DOS binaries: at any time, KCRC returns a 4-digit Kermit CRC for the code generated this far. KBEGIN resets the KCRC accumulator. Thus: kbegin ascii `Hello World!' data.4 kcrc Will generate a 12-character sequence followed by its Kermit CRC. I consider this a somewhat obscure feature which I added rather quickly just to be able to create HP-48 library objects with a minimal effort. Therefore I didn't bother Gadiel and Bill with sending me new binaries; if you think this is going to be useful to you, then you should recompile. Archiver note: STAR is a macro assembler for the Saturn CPU, a proprietary Hewlett-Packard microprocessor. STAR is licensed under the Gnu General Public License.
