There is a usable and free 68K cross assembler called A68K.  I believe
it was first published in Modula-2 in Dr. Dobb's Journal many years ago.
Some thoughtful human being subsequently converted it to C.
We used a PC implementation of this assembler in an "Introductory
Computer Architecture" course.  The program ran slowly on floppy-disk-
equipped Intel machines.  Fortunately, I found the C source on a HP UNIX
machine I was administrating at the time; on the UNIX box, the assembler
was very, very fast.  I believe the source for this assembler must be
available at an FTP site somewhere.
