As a consequence it supports the 'good' things like macros and the 'bad' things like no intermediate object code generation. I'm not suggesting gpasm will be your panacea, however if your willing to invoke M4 you may also be open to hacking gpasm's bison & flex routines to do what you want. The "official" gpasm web page is here: http://reality.sgi.com/jamesb/gpasm/ However, I've made significant changes to gpasm (like adding .cod file support). Since I haven't heard from James Bowman in over three months I've been unable to coordinate integrating my changes. So here's my "release": http://www.interstice.com/~sdattalo/gnupic/gpasm-0.0.7a.tar.gz regards, Scott PS, Does anyone know what's happened to James?
