I'd like the assembler to be able to handle 65C802 code in addition to 65C02. I know Merlin-16 is one such assembler that will do this, but it won't run at all if you don't have the '802 installed. I was looking through the APDA catalog and I see that I can get: ORCA/M Macro Assembler MON+ Symbolic Debugger ORCA/M Floating Point Libraries Small-C Compiler Is ORCA/M becomming more popular than Merlin (on the //gs)? It would be nice to have a compiler that will be compatable with the demo source code that is abailable. Is ORCA/M (Apple ][,//e,//c version) 65C802 compatable? Has anyone used this "Small-C Compiler"? Is it a good enough implementation of C for most applications? Here is the description listed in the catalog: All full C language statements are supported, along with most operators and short and long integers. Supports P-code for space efficiency and native code for speed. Complete source code for the compiler is included. Requires ORCA/M. I have stayed away from compiled languages on the //c because from what I have heard most are a real kludge requiring alot of slow disk access. For now I'll be working with 5.25" drives and stock 128K of RAM. I'm wondering if this version of C is any better. Any suggentions of alternate assemblers/C compilers that will run on a //c? I'm sure the net has seen enough of this type of stuff, so email comments. I will post a summary of the replies. Thanks. ___________ / Tom Metro \_____________________________________________________________ | _ _ | | INET: tmetro@pro-angmar.uucp --/\/\_| |_| '- DigiTell, Inc. | | ARPA: crash!pnet01!pro-angmar!tmetro@nosc.mil Newton, MA | | UUCP: [ihnp4 sdcsvax nosc]!crash!pnet01!pro%angmar!tmetro | |_Alternate: tmetro@lynx.northeastern.edu__________________________________| "The Ghost crowd supports me.
