My brother needs a 68000 cross-assembler that will run under MS-DOS. He
has one that was copyrighted 1985, but he says it's not easy to use.
I am new to this newsgroup and don't know exactly what a cross-assembler is,
or if it is different from an assembler. I am assuming that from the talk on
this newsgroup that someone can tell me where to get it. (I do not know whether
I have access to an fpt site, since I don't know how to access one; but I 
was _briefly_ told how to use telnet just recently, but I don't know if telnet
has anything to do with accessing an fpt site.)
