Here is a little bit more information about the LITTLE handheld.  To keep
hardware costs down, I am using 1 8KROM and 1 8KStatic RAM.  This leads
to a semi small program area in ram.

I have MicroSparc Assembler...Aztec C..ibm->apple II version.

Since I really prefer to use c, has anyone used something like a small C
that doesnt need much runtime code, and can actually create romable code?
I really dont need any library stuff, just a small high level language
so more programs can be created in less time.

As I was reminded, MicroSparc does have Macro's..and could create some
custom macros...except the code it creates is really pretty bad if you
have looked at it.  Since I need to keep stuff at a premium...guess
assembly is the only possibility?  In this day and age I would think
that a nice small subset of c could create what I need.

Guess I should have said more about memory on my first posting, as a few
people I could not return mail..it bounced and I dont know the net well
enough yet to create a good path.

Anyway, thanks to the people that responded.
