The reason Apple wants you to develop for the GS on the Mac is because
it's faster!  ORCA software is incredibly slow.  Considering LISA/816
assembles at
about 100,000 lines/minute, there is no execuse for ORCA running as slow
as it does.  I've talked to Brian Fitzgerald about LISA/816.  He is
going to let me
post it here at UCR via anonymous FTP.  In return, he expects some feedback on
the product.  I can answer most questions.  The ones I can't, I'll pass
along to
him.  Should have LISA available within a couple of days at
ucrmath.ucr.edu in the "PC" subdirectory.  Should be two files then,
LISA.SHK and ANIX.SHK.  LISA is the assembler, macro files, and some
sample sources;  ANIX is a shell interpreter I did for the GS (never
finished though, beware!), a *fast* console driver with windows, a
utility package (want printf in ASM, it's there!), and other goodies.
