CrossAssembler

[kenames99]

hi,

  I was wondering if anyone here has the cross assembler avmac65. it was used to make a good amount of the commodore games BITD. it is actually a number of programs including avmac65.exe, avlink, adp.exe, avlib.exe, etc. thanks for any responses.

I saw that you've been posting around for this, and some previous discussions on differences between cross assemblers. Do you require it because you have old code in that format, or mostly for collecting purposes? I'm thinking if you need to assemble old projects, perhaps some kind of conversion could be made so a newer cross assembler accepts it.

I am trying to cover both of those bridges. I have some older code that needs it and have been in touch with Garth at 6502.org. he would also like to add it to the old assemblers archive.

hi,

  I am sorry, I totally missed your question. It ran on msdos or other dos also I would guess. early versions I hear ran on CP/M. I did get an ebay auction of the avmac68 package/disk. that will let me see if the other tools that come with it are the same, I heard they are. I will also share those files when I get to them.

I have not been able to find the avocet avmac65 assembler after years of looking. so, I "ported" the code for it to the ca65 assembler which was rather easy. the "define" control command makes life easy. and there is a section in the docs about porting so if you have this type of situation then do not be afraid of ca65. the linker "ld65" was a bit more difficult but a bit of study will make you able to finish getting your app or project together without a lot of fuss. thanks everyone for putting up with me.
