I am attempting to learn how to program my 2000 with assembly language. 
The assembler that I have is Manx AS v3.6 (and I can't afford to buy a
different one).  I have three or four programs that were written by
other people using other assemblers and I cannot get then to compile
using AS.  This is due to the documentation for AS being very minimal
(semi-understandable since it is part of a C package) and me not being
terribly familiar with 68k assembly programming (although I know a
little). 

I have a book on order to teach me more about Amiga assembly, but I want
to know about the assembler dependent (in this case AS) stuff.  In other
words, I want to know what I have to do to get a program to compile and
run.

The best way I know of to do this is to look at examples written
specifically for *Manx AS*, so that I can see how it's done.  I'm not a
total beginner at this--I know how to read and figure things out by
example.  Also, the main program that I was trying to assemble was
XOPER.  If some kind (very kind!) soul would take the time to make the
changes needed so that AS will assemble it and then email it to me, that
would be a BIG help.  Either that, or perhaps some short examples of
other converted programs?

Reiterating, what I would like is:

	1)  Short (or long if you prefer) example Manx AS programs

	2)  Xoper converted to Manx AS (I already have the original Xoper
	    source)

	3)  Other programs converted to Manx AS (but then I'll need both
	    versions!)

Any response will be *greatly* appreciated.  Please email.  I have all
the standard (zoo, uudecode, compress, etc.) utilities, so pick your
format. 

Thanks again, (in advance, of course :-) )
