Hi
This is something that might be interesting to those who dont have
access to comp.sys.m6809.
Enjoy

Over the last few days I have written a 6089 cross-assembler. In the next
few days I hope to finish this off, and most likely add 68HC11 support as
well. (Maybe some of the rest of the family, but I have never looked at
them.)

Anyway, there a few things I want to ask:
 - Are there many people that would use a cross-assembler under MS-DOS? If
  anybody really wants this I'll make sure it compiles under MS-DOS fine as
  well. (Will not require much change, but I would have hunt down those
  Microsoft Quick C disks)
 - Are there any particular features that you always wanted in a
  cross-assembler but do not have? Or features that you have that you would
  rather were not there? Anything you would like to add just because it may
  be useful at some time?
 - Any of the other Motorola 8-bit microprocessors that you would like to
  have support for?
 - Can somebody tell me about the Motorola S-Record format? I presume this
  is the most useful output for most people.
 - Does someone wanna test this out? Especially to make sure the correct
  output for the given input.

Now one thing that has really annoyed me about all the cross-assemblers I
have used is having to compile the entire program at once, instead of just
linking in the pre-compiled objects I want. ( well, I have only ever used two,
but they both had the same problem...) Is there any standard format that
these object files should have? How should the linking be done? I have
not thought about this a lot yet, but I'll try and figure this out in the
next few days. If anyone has ideas/suggesting please tell me.

I guess I'll post the source code here in a week or two. Its in ANSI C and
I'll make sure it works under Linux and SunOS and if I can be bothered on
UTS (after ansi2knr) and maybe MS-DOS if anyone wants it. (Assuming the bank
doesn't come and take my computer away of course.....)

Comments anyone?
