There is a package developed in house that includes a macro assembler and a
program editor that both take advantage of the C128 hardware.  I don't know if
the assembler would be any faster than PAL, since the object was to make it do
everything that the VAX based cross assemblers can do, and to allow truely
large assemblies.  The editor is similar to the DEC EDT keypad editing mode.

It is too soon to know when or if this package will be available, but I am
sure that it will be publicized on the various networks...
