I'll let Fred give the gory details when he finds out the status of the
DEVpack and is able to announce its availability, but suffice it to say that
all of us long-suffering C-128 programmers have been slobbering and drooling
all over our keyboards waiting for it. Amongst other things, it has a fast
assembler that produces relocatable object code that's linked with a linker
(so that you can have seperate assembly of object modules -- a Big Win when
you have 15,000 lines of source code), and source code to fastload and RAMdisk
drivers. I am looking forward to it. CASM is still slow even with the speedups
I've done to it, and I really don't prefer cross-development (takes as long to
load up a terminal program and establish connection etc. etc., as to re-link
using the C-Power linker).
