I don't know about your other questions, but the latest version of my A68k (not even distributed yet!) adds the INCBIN directive. This feature, implemented due to a number of requests, causes the contents of any file to be included as is in the object code output. If you need it fast, we could always do a snail mail transfer.

Just a couple of questions for you assembler gurus out there: 1. Can someone give me a list of the PD assemblers out there? 2. What is the SEKA assembler I hear about from europe? Is it PD? 3. Any PD asms out there that can include binary files? Thanx for any help. Jon Taylor SLMVK@cc.usu.edu

I dont have a list but my favorite was A68K. SEKA is not something I would work with (I seen the old version of it, the latest is suposed to be mutc better ?!) I dont remember A68K having an 'incbin' equivalent, so if you use A68K you can alway use include and converte you binary into dc... But 2 years ago Devpac2 was under 70$, so if you want something serious the investment is worth it!

Seka is copyright by Kuma corporation from germany. There are a thousand hacked up versions out there by hackers that look like they are PD, but they are not. they are illegal hacks. besides that, the seka assembler is a piece of garbage that promotes bad programming habits. 3: not sure about includeing binary files in Asm68k.. Charlie? you have the answer?

This is correct. >Seka is copyright by Kuma corporation from germany. However, this is wrong. Kuma is a british software company, with the Amiga-Version of their Seka-Assembler having been their one and only Amiga product, as far as I know. They are still developing on the Atari ST, though. >besides that, the seka assembler >is a piece of garbage that promotes bad programming habits. An this is totally correct again!

They are still developing on the Atari ST, though. They have also done K-Spread and K-Gadget (mabye more..) for the Amiga, actually. K-Spread is a spreadsheet, although not as good as Analyze I've heard. K-Gadget is a window/gadget layout program like PowerWindows, but as far as I've read, PowerWindows is K-Gadget superior. > >besides that, the seka assembler > >is a piece of garbage that promotes bad programming habits. > > An this is totally correct again! And another thing that's too correct is that many European kids (an expression used before in this newsgroup) use this assembler as it's only ~25Kb and has an integrated editor and is fairly easy to use. Most European demos are coded in Seka or a seka-clone (somebody actually ReSourced the Seka and built more commands into it.) > Holger Lubitz, Kl.
