- Well, Jan also wrote an assembler which is available of the archives at
- SEQ.UNCWIL.EDU. The name of the assembler is "Star", and it's the assembler
- that I've used for all my ML code. In case my name doesn't ring any bells,
- I wrote the HP48 screen dissolver (200 lines), the recently posted sound
- routines (around 1000 lines I guess), Vaders (around 6000 lines), and the
- Multiprogramming Environment (MPE) under which Vaders runs,
- ..all using Star.
-
- HP also has released their assembler to the public, but its macro capabilities
- are a bit restrictive compared to Star. Also, I prefer the AG mnemonics
- and the assembler syntax used by Star...but that's just me.
