We are considering buying the Amsterdam Compiler kit so generate 
executabiles for z-80 (NSC-800), 8086/286, and 68xxx processors
now and who-knows-what in the future. We plan to run it on Sun-3s 
and Masscomps.

As we understand it, the 'kit' comes with 'c' front ends for the
above processors. 

We have one specific question:
		Does it allow "in-line" assembler code?

And would really like to talk to someone on the phone about how
it "feels", compared to the American Automation or AD2500 cross 
compiler/assemblers.

I will call, if you will mail me a number.

				Thanks in advance
