TITLE

     Macro68, version 3.175

UPDATE NOTICE

     Apparently, lots of people have moved without informing The Puzzle
     Factory -- when update notices were mailed out recently, many of
     them were returned by the post office. Users of Macro68 who have not
     received an update notice and who want to get the updated version
     should get in touch with The Puzzle Factory at the address below.

NEW FEATURES

     68060 support added.  Many bugs fixed, most of them minor.

DESCRIPTION

     Macro68 is an assembler that supports the entire Motorola family
     including the MC68060, MC68882/030/040 FPU, and MC68851/030/040
     MMU. Additional capability includes the Amiga Copper.

     The new Motorola syntax for 030 or later CPUs is supported, and
     Macro68 includes a utility to convert old-style syntax painlessly.
     Old syntax is also supported.

     A unique feature of Macro68 is the use of a shared library, which
     is always resident, and allows the use of preassembled resident
     include files for incredibly fast assemblies. These may be standard
     Amiga files, or any header files may be used. Additionally, a
     configuration file may be defined that will set up a particular
     environment, or insert specific code in all assemblies.

     Most features limited only by available memory. Directives include
     Structure Offset for compatibility with the Amiga's interface
     conventions, and Frame Offset for easy stack frames. Full listing
     control and cross-referencing. Ability to customize directives and
     run-time messages.

     Macro68 is fully re-entrant, and may be made resident. An AREXX(tm)
     interface provides "real-time" communication with the editor of
     your choice. A number of directives enable Macro68 to communicate
     with AmigaDos(tm). External programs may be invoked on either pass,
     and the results interpreted.

     Macro68 is compatible with the directives used by most popular
     assemblers. Output file formats include executable object, linkable
     object, binary image, pre-assembled symbol tables, and Motorola S
     records.
