87.0. "HiSoft DevPack Assembler V2" by DOOZER::MAUDE (John S. Maude EDU Services Reading UK) Wed May 11 1988 14:32

    Hi All,
    
    	Last weekend I recieved a copy of HiSoft DevPack Assembler V2.
    This has got to be the best 68000 Assembler on the market at the
    moment.
    
    	It contains a reasonable Screen Editor,an Assembler,a Screen
    Monitor,and a Linker. The assembler has options to assemble your
    source to memory (for quick testing), to file in both DRI object
    format and GST, there is also and option to assemble nowhere for
    quick syntax checking. The assembler also contains full macro support,
    all 68000 directives, and directives to control the flow of the
    assembly, also you can turn optimization on (ie. jumps turned to
    branches if required etc).
    
    	The Monitor can access your symbols if symbol table present
    in image. It has 3 to 5 windows (ie. Register, disassembly, and
    memory windows by default). 5 types of breakpoints can be set including
    simple, count, conditional.
    
    	The Linker however, can only link objects in GST object format
    an English standard used by Lattice C for instance, but I have used
    the DRI output format to link the object code to Dev Kit C modules
    and MWC modules.
    
    	For �50 its got to be worth it !!!!

    re .0 (John)
    
         Was this an initial purchase, or was this an upgrade aquirement
    I have a version 1.?? of the assembler, and I sent my card in, but
    never received info on an upgrade.  As I recall, they are from UK,
    cause my card got bounced back from the mail with insufficient postage
    I think it is also a pretty neat assembler, the only thing I wish
    was if it was able to be run from the command line, and not get
    sent into their gem shell/environment.

    Hi,
    
    	Re .1 :-
    
    	This was an origional purchase. I believe there is an upgrade
    path, but I can't recall the price. BTW the new version has a command
    shell assembler as well.
