[comp.sys.next] Motorola DSP56k software

eht@cs.cmu.edu (Eric Thayer) (02/28/89)

As I understand it, the only Motorola software going to be bundled
with future NeXT releases is the 56k assembler.  It seems to me that given
the potential of the Cube as a development system for 56k  applications,
it would be to Motorola's benefit to allow NeXT to bundle the linker,
simulator and C compiler with the assembler.

Also it seems that, given that academia is the target market for NeXT,
the possibility that a public domain linker and simulator would be developed
should not be discounted too heavily.

Is there anyone from Motorola reading this bboard who can comment
on this?
