But Wait!!! - More Info on ArgAsm...

In my earlier follow-up I mentioned a new assembler package by the 
name of ArgAsm. Since then I have received more info on this -
from a review in 'Amiga Format' magazine - a British publication.

Here's some of the things they said about the package :

"...ArgAsm is source code compatible with several of its main competitors.
These include HiSoft's Devpac (1 & 2), Inovatronic's CAPE... and
Metacomco's ASSEM."

"From your very first use, ArgAsm's astounding operational speed will
become more than evident."

"The combination of copatibility with existing assemblers and an 
operational speed that even puts PDS systems to shame, deserves to
 make ArgAsm theamiga industry standard"


My comments:

The package includes a multi-window editor but there is no monitor/debugger
included in the package.


In my earlier posting I also promised to find out their address, so
here it is :

Argonaut Software
7 Millway
Millhill
London
U.K.


NOTE: I am in no way connected with Argonaut Software. However, if you do
make an order please mention my name - that is to see if they will send
me a free copy (no other motives).

All the comments given above are taken from the above named magazine, where
quoted. All others are my personal veiws/findings.

Koshy.
