- This is GAS (the gnu assembler) for the Atari ST.
-
- Please read the copyright notice and disclaimer, 'COPYING', included
- with this distribution, to understand your rights and
- responsibilities when using software produced by the Free Software
- Foundation.
-
- Nothing real special to say about this one. It should run with no
- trouble, though it will use a fair amount of memory. It may not be
- able to assemble itself in 1 Meg; most files will be no trouble, but
- m68k.c and .h are a real monster.
-
- Note that I have not included here all the files that you get in the
- GAS distribution from FSF; just the ones that are relevant to building
- the thing for 68000-powered machines, ie the Atari. If anyone wants
- the VAX files, and can't get them any other way, let me know.
-
- Copy GAS.TTP into wherever you're keeping your GNU executables. If
- you want to use the default names that GCC expects, rename it
- GCC-AS.TTP.
-
- Note that this version of the assembler has a hack in it to generate
- double floats with an 8 bit exponent, instead of the default 11 bits.
- If you fix the library code to deal with it correctly (or find some to
- replace it ... Please!) you should fix the assembler too.
-
- I'm willing to try to fix bugs and answer questions, but, as the
- disclaimer says, there's no warranty on this stuff.
-
- Good luck!
