	As far as I've heard, and the descriptions in the APDAlog say,
	no.  This is not surprising because the //gs is set up to be very
	(and with every system release grows to be even more) similar
	to a Mac; earlier //'s aren't.

	According to the _Develop_ sample copy I was sent, however, there
	is a very nice all-//'s cross-ASSEMBLER that runs under the
	MPW //gs tools environment.  For a Mac programmer, there just
	isn't support for anything like an easy port; you still must use
	ProDOS (8) calls and conventions for memory use, etc.
