| This may be a bit late but ...
I use the GST Macro Assembler - cost me 19 pounds (though I believe you
can pick it up for around 15). Works fine and has decent macro facilities.
And you can link against any HLL using GST linker format, of which there
seems to be a few. There is a PD assembler I've seen advertised - I've got
no idea what it's like though.

| Hi everyone...rather then make a new topic I thought I would post my
question here since it is sort of related to assemblers. I am
wondering if any of you out there have any documentation on Atari
assembly directives. I know 68000 assembly code, but I would like to
know if atari has any special TRAP codes (like TRAP #15, etc.). I
would also like to know the addresses of memory,rom, and the devices
(ie. the PIA's and PIT's for the parallel and serial ports, etc.) on
my atari stfm. Finally, does any one have or know of a place
(anonymous ftp or otherwise) where I could get a good assembler,
debugger??
Thanks,
Andrew Barber

| 178.3 | You described a book that exists | PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ | Jeffrey A. Lomicka | Wed Apr 15 1992 09:49 | 17 |
| There's a great book for this stuff published in the UK (and available
sometimes in the US) called "The Concise Atari ST 68000 Programmer's
Reference Guide", by Katherine Peel, published by Glentop Press Ltd.,
revised January 1988 to include information on the blitter chip. This
book is "concise", and is mostly a reference guide, but it describes all
the traps and the memory layout, and all the registers in the hardware.
(They list an address "Bath Place, High Street Barnet, Hertz EN5 5XE".)
Some aspects will require additional explanation, such as found in the
much-more-expensive developers documentation, which is now available to
anybody direct from Atari (for a price).
I don't know much about free assemblers, although there are a few out
there. At very least, there is one that comes with Sozobon C, but it
is mostly intended for assembling the output of the free Sozobon C
compiler and is not overburdened with features :-).

| A UK magazine gave away Hisoft Devpac 1 a few months ago on the cover
disk. I don't know whether this means the program is now PD, but I'll
check and if it is post it on the network. I use Devpac 2 (which is NOT
pd) and this seems to be quite a good all round assembler.

| I've seen a couple of assemblers in the listings of the TERMINATOR
archive at University of Michigan, but don't know how good (read:
usable, bug-free) they might be.
