A new language called ACTION! has been developed for the 6502. I have the version for the ATARI system. The syntax is a cross between C and pascal with the emphasis on pascal. Some of the nifty things in C are missing but on the whole the language isn't bad. YES it does compile to native 6502 code, and yes it excutes very fast. The compiler is also very fast This new language is supposed to be available for the apple machines also. A rumor abounds that it will be ported to the IBM-PC on its 8088. If you want a native code for the 6502 check it out. :q :wq
