Buy the C-Power compiler and get Mark Rinfret's 6502 assembler. Best way to go
if you are going to write programs bigger than "hello, world!", because it
produces code linkable by the C-Power linker (thus, you don't have to
re-assemble 160K of source code every time you make a minor change -- my
problem with my current assembler, the Merlin assembler).

The C-Power compiler is now marked as "Power C" by Spinnaker, and costs $39.95
for a package containing both C64 & C128 version, and a very LOUSY manual
(e.g.: how do I issue a DOS command to a unit other than unit#0, when using
the 128 version?). But hey, for the price....

Your dealer probably doesn't have it, but I've found that any software store
can order it (because distributor catalogs such as the Inmac catalog go by
publisher, not by computer type, and Spinnaker publishes some non-Commodore
stuff too).

PS to Mark: When we gonna get a 128 version of the assembler? For example, the
128 version of Power C already does your "openfile" with ordinary fopen...
