Apollo has never shipped the assembler as a fully supported product, although MANY of Apollo's OEMs have been given the assembler through tech marketing. It came VERY close to being a real product several times, but hit a snag each time, and it did have a reasonable manual written for it. I would say that it is more than a "simple tool". I can vouch for it being commercial grade, having used it on several projects when I was at Apollo. >Anybody else know something different??? Is there a GNU Assembler? Yes there is a GNU assembler, however, I doubt that GNU assembled code will link with code compiled by Apollo's compiler (am I wrong here???). >Sincerely, >Philip D.
