markh@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (Mark William Hopkins) has posted the following:

comp.archives from comp.sys.intel in May:
=========================================

Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.intel/Free-8051-software-available-by-FTP

A while back I mentioned the availability of some 8051 related software by
E-mail.  You can now access it by anonymous ftp at csd4.csd.uwm.edu, in the
directory /pub/8051.  Also in /pub, the entire contents of the 8051 directory
have been packaged as 8051.zip.

I've packaged the following items:

     C source for 8051 Disassembler.  Reads input in Intel Hex format.
     Arbitrary Precision Arithmetic library for unsigned integers
        including Multiplication, Division, Square Root
     Rudimentary Debugger
        needs client software at the host in order to be useable.
     PC-based COM software for RS-232, RS-422, RS-485.
        8 bit mode, 9 bit mode, baud rates up to 57600.
     A stripped-down Multitasking Kernel, with 8051 demo software for:
        Serial Communications
        Intel Hex download
        CRC Check Summing Demo
        Interrupt Input Processing, for the 8051FA.
        LCD Display/Keypad Input library
        Open-loop Stepper Motor Driver
        Pulse Counting/Data Collection
            elaborate multi-tasking control used to concurrently
            process the 6 timer-capture interrupts of the 8051FA

   In addition, I'd be interested in hearing any input you may have on what
you'd like to see in an assembler.  I'm looking for good suggestions to
include in the assembler before I finish it.

and a snippet from comp.sys.intel in July:
==========================================

Also some advance notice: there WILL be a (almost) full-featured 1-pass 8051
assembler and linker released in the public domain in the archive at
csd4.csd.uwn.edu in /pub/8051 on August 1 or sooner.
