I've been tracking down a new assembler because Merlin Pro just
doesn't cut it any more. I called Roger Wagner Publishing to get some
info on Merlin 8/16 so I'd figure I'd post what I got so you can save
yourself a call.

Merlin 8/16 is really 4 (count 'em 4!) different assemblers. One is
Merlin Pro dos 3.3. One is Merlin Pro ProDOS. (These are the same ones
that I bought 3 years ago.) One is an assembler for //s with a 16 bit
CPU. And one is an honest to God GS assembler.

There have been no attempts to fix Merlin Pro so that a ram disk can
be set up and it was pretty clear from the call that no attempt will
be made. When I pointed out how easy it would be to fix the 8 bit
version, it was suggested that I buy a GS. (Sigh) The GS version is
still being maintained.

The search continues...
