I am not quite sure if I understand what you mean here. The funny thing is that I started Coldfire work on the assembler first. Because that will take the most amount of time. In AHCC the assembler is a parser at the front end. It would be much easier for me if there was no need for a assembler at all. Assembler buffs, have mercy on me. I spend a lot of time writing stuff I try to avoid like hell. -- Groeten; Regards.
