[comp.sys.apple2] 65c820 article & 65816 assembly language stds article available

I have received several requests to repost my 65c820 article.
Rather than do that (it is rather long) I have made it available
via anonymous ftp.  You can get it from the "PC" directory at
ucrmath.ucr.edu via anonymous ftp.  Interested parties should look
there.  If you do not have anonymous ftp access, send me mail and I will
attempt to mail you the article(s).  You may need to keep on me for this,
though.  The 65c820 article is named 65c820txt.  There is a second
article named "Proposal" which describes a propose standard syntax
for 65c816 assembly language I wrote.  I even held a conference on it
a couple of years ago at the Az-Apple fair.  Alas, there was no convincing
Westerfield or Bredon to change their "defacto standards".  Fitzgerald
was willing to go along (Lisa/816), but that would only have produced
yet another syntax variant.  Just what we need.  IMHO the syntax
described in the Proposal is really neat, and much more powerful than
existing assemblers today (on *any* machine, not just the GS).  There
were several people on the committee which proposed this standard.
Many of them came up with some really good ideas.  The proposal is
definitely worth looking at if you're an assembly language programmer.
BTW, if anyone out there has the '832 spec sheets, I would be willing
to scan it in and post it on the net if you're willing to mail it to
me.
