In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, Zoot wrote:

I'm going to be purchasing an SX-key programming kit (I've programmed Stamps, 808xx controllers in assembly, etc).

I've been reading through the available docs and web pages, and there is something I'm not clear on, so I wanted to make sure I have it straight.

SASM = current assembly language for the SX-key compiler
SX/B = Pbasic -like language that compiles to assembly in the SX-key IDE
Parallax Assembly Language = an old, legacy assembly language

Do I have that right? If I don't, let me know. If that's basically right, I have three questions --

- There is a newer (beta?) version of SX/B at the forums. Mr. Hitt posts these -- is this Mr. Hitt's software or Parallax's? Kudos either way, but I'm curious.

- SX pages at the main site have some things along the line of this:

[quote="Somebody"]Now available for download with SX/B Examples! Al Williams' popular Exploring the SX Microcontroller with Assembly and BASIC  Programming was released this week as a free web download. All examples are shown with the SX/B and Parallax assembly language. The[/quote]

So if I see Parallax Assembly Language in code or docs, should I figure that it's "legacy" code and compile it that way?

- If I drop into assembly language from within an SX/B program I'm presuming current IDE will use SASM?

Any other clarifications on the three languages??
