My question is a bit more basic.  I have a compiler that I've been working
on but never get finished and I wind up working on machines with the
weirdest assemblers - I just want to invent my own assembly language,
write and assembler and generate code for that and emulate the results.

Sounds an awful like the UCSD-P System don't it?  Well, not all my ideas
are original :-)

This is what I am looking for:
	Emulator for a reasonable machine, stack, one or two address
	machines would be nice, three address is too weird.
	Assembler to assemble the code my compiler produces.
	Linker to (you guessed it ...) link the modules.

In short, an entire Programmers Tool Box for a non-existent machine ...

So, where do I find it?
