	Info on using assembler is included in the manual.  The only 
assemblers that create intermediate files (.obj or whatever you would
call them on the 64) were merlin and the Commodore assembler.  

	The Power C manual included examples for the Power Assembler.  
I didn't like this assembler because it uses a little known feature of
the 1541 drive, the append option.  My hard disk doesn't support the 
append option.  Oh well.  

	When I was doing 64 developement, nobody did any development in
C for the 64.  This was about 4 years ago.  Now, it would be impossible,
with the size of the games that are being written.
