Are there any share/free ware assemblers around? For the GS? I want to learn to program in assembly ( I have to ). Any Advice? Ken Morton

You can down load it from BIX and other Great! Can you post it to comp.binaries, or send it to appl2-l, if you find it? Same goes to those with access to BIX and "other services."

At the "]" prompt type "CALL -151" or "mtr". At the "*" prompt, type "!". You are now using the free monitor included with every Apple II ever sold and the mini-assembler included with most II's (except the early //c's). Note that it has been extended to accept the 65816 opcodes. I do not know the commands needed to actually use the thing, I hink Orca/M is well worth the $50 or so and use that exclusively. Hope this helps you discover the joys of Assembly Language programming. (A Lost Art, or so they tell be at work). UUCP: bkj386!pnet91!ericmcg INET: ericmcg@pnet91.cts.com

Don't know if I agree with that. Merlin 16+ is definitely faster than Orca M will ever be. It's a little more expensive, $80 through Programs Plus, but well worth it. For that money you get the 5.25" version, the two different 3.5" version, one for ProDOS 8, and the other for GS/OS. It also has the expressload utilities, compact utilities, and all of the things you'd ever need in an assembler. Plus, all of the utilities of ProSel.

> Don't know if I agree with that. Merlin 16+ is definitely >| Steve Chiang Apple //gs Forever! | Coming Soon: | The free assembler in every Apple II is certainly the only one I know of. I prefer Orca because it has a growth path. As far as I know there is no Merlin C or Merlin Pascal. Orca is the APW shell and gives you access to all the nifty APW utilities. It intigrates the development quite well and is transparent for compiling any language's source code. I am going on the assumption that most people will move up from assembler in the future and this is the main benefit of Orca over Merlin. The largest program I have ever written in Assembler is 16k. On a 64k Apple II this is a reasonable size, on a GS it is a CDA. For large projects a HLL is required if there is any kind of time limit on development.

>> Merlin is faster than ORCA/M will ever be...
Well, the newest ORCA/M (ORCA/Shell v1.2 and Linker v1.2.3 (ZapLink)) are quite
fast, and produce nice compacted code.. They also include all of the toolbox
interface files from APW Tools & Interfaces 1.1, and the capability to
integrate the assembler with the other ORCA and APW languages to make
multi-language programs...
Of course, I am on the side of ORCA/M because I won it in AOL's Twilight Time
contest... But I probably would have bought it anyway, having used the othre
ORCA languages...
Oh, yes, and I am in no way affiliated with The Byte Works... :)

Is v1.2 of the shell available yet? I haven't gotten anything from ByteWorks since I got ZapLink 1.2.2. If it is, does anyone know how much the upgrade is? >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Daniel M.
