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.
