I've recently started using TMS320E15s micro-controllers. I don't (at the
moment) need the fancy instruction set, just a real fast controller and
they fit the bill very nicely. (Especially as the price is about to come
down --TI claims--.)

The only cross assembler that I could find in the Fall was the one from
TI (Rev C, version 3.1) and the more I use it, the less I like it.) This
morning, I discovered (after wasting an hour or so) that spaces in macro
argument lists are _VERY_ significant (all the args after the first space
go in the bit bucket.) It also seems fussy about comments.

This is not intended as a flame, but as a request for suggestions. I
suppose that I have been lead to expect a less "user hostile" software
development environment from my experiences with Avocet and 2500AD cross
assemblers. I'm about to start on a 'C25 board, and I'll have to spend
some money on a new cross assembler (or update the TI one) so now is the
time for me.

I'd like to hear about other cross assemblers for the TMS320 family. I
will summarize (if there there's enough to bother with.)

(Do I have to include a disclaimer on everything? I'm just a user, and
don't have any connection with these folks.) If there are opinions above,
they must be mine, 'cause this anarchy is to disorganized to have a
policy, never mind an opinion.)
