I don't personally see the purpose in doing this. It is not as if the program would run any better. Certainly it could not be run on the 6502 host and if you have a 65816, there are better development systems available there. I suppose that it is possible that you are writing for someone with a GS, but how would you test the coding? Ship various versions back and forth until it works? On a practical note, perhaps a cross compiler for APW could be created for the Mac so that native development is not needed on the Mac? I mean, they've got MPWIIGS, shouldn't we have APWMac, just to be fair? <sarcasm> UUCP: bkj386!pnet91!ericmcg INET: ericmcg@pnet91.cts.com

My question about making '816 macros for a 6502 assembler was mostly
academic, I suppose, but there is one possible use for it: use the
macros with a 65802 plugged in. I don't have one of these, but
someone with a 65802-driven IIe or IIc (possibly the II Plus?) might
have a use for it; they wouldn't have to shell out big $$$ for one of
the 65816 assemblers if a macro set was available.

I use to use a ][+ with a transwarp and 65802 to run Merlin 16 and
assemble my GS programs because it was faster than doing so on my GS.
This was long before Merlin 16+ and Transwarp GS of course...
