Cheath, A68K has trouble with referencing labels outside sections, but I can't remember if it was just for branches and jumps or for data refs too. Asm68K seems tobe a little more solid, but I can'r remember what I had a problem with. I'll fire it up again tonight and take a look. I was hoping for great things from the assembler on Fish 50, but I couldn't seem to get IFD working. I use a number of macros which call associated subroutines, and being the type that likes small code, I have a macro called USE that I SET labels with, then use IFD to conditionally include the macro definition/subroutine code. Unfortunately, it accepts my IFD, but doesn't assemble the code. Apparently a SET label isn't a condition for IFD. I will be playing a bit more with this one tonight as well. I would really like it if everyone had access to a good assembler at small cost. Regards, Larry.
