- Say, pal, any objection to sharing the cross-assembler? :^) Sounds
- pretty nice, but to write my own would be way too big of a project -
- I don't have one tenth the time that would require!
-
- Which workstation are you on? I'm on a SPARC 2. (I wouldn't expect any
- hardware-specific stuff in your cross-assembler, tho.) Seriously, would
- you mind sharing? That might just be the ticket that would get me back
- into hacking assembly on my trusty 800!

- Thanks,
