A cross assembler differs from a 'normal' assembler in that the code which it assembles is different from the processor on which the assembler itself runs on. For example, an assembler which runs on a PC and takes 8086 assembly is a 'normal' assembler. An assembler which runs on an Amiga and takes 8086 assembly is a cross assembler. I'm not sure what you'd call something which converted from 68K->6502 (probably a compiler considering the complexity of the job!!). -Mike
