and much more now.

gpasm is still released under GPL. Craig Franklin joined the development a few
months ago and has been really cranking away. gpasm is now up to version 0.9.2
. There's even a window's version now too. You can get the latest here:

http://gpasm.sourceforge.net/

gpasm also can generate code for the sx processor (although the mnemonics are
limited to PIC mnemonics - gpasm doesn't support the Parallax mnemonics).
