I have the Lattice C with Assembler, and the manual says the assembler
is good for rewriting cpu intensive code to improve speed, but isn't
really for writing entire programs.  What I really hate it that the
omd (object module disassembler) doesn't produce code that can be
re-assembled.  I recently got a copy of DevPac Amiga, $99 I think, someone
else bought it for me, and it doesn't seem too bad.  It has it own editor,
which doesn't work.  The assembler is started from that.  Major problem.
It also comes with a debugger.  This is helpful.  If I didn't have to
start up the editor to assemble, I would be happier, but what can I do?
The debugger is nice, I shows current status of all registers, and the window
is broken up into regions for looking at ram, register status, and a command
execution area.

Can anyone help me hook up a Televideo 1500 terminal to my serial port
so I can use ROM Wack?  Can I get a copy of Wack from anyone?  What documents,
or what information can I get to know what the diffence is between US Amigas,
and other (European) Amigas?
