asm68 cross assembler

• listing goes to file instead of standard output
• in listing, two byte quantities in object code are shown as a single 16-bit value
• one assembler supports all Motorola 8-bit processors, using a "MACHINE" pseudo-op (e.g., MACHINE 6809), or a -mach option on the command line. Invoke asm68 with the -help option for a list of supported processors.
• include files with "INCLUDE" pseudo-op (e.g., "INCLUDE /FOO.ASM/"). Any character may be used as the delimiter for the filename.
• source file names and options may occur in any order on the command line. Options must ALL be preceded with a "-".
• new "-def sym[=val]" command line option to define a symbol, with the value defaulting to one. The value may be in binary, octal, decimal, or hexadecimal, using either Motorola or Intel notation. Note that a leading dollar sign ("$") for either the symbol name or value may need to be escaped in order to prevent a command shell from trying to do a variable expansion.
• parenthesis are allowed in expressions (but no operator precedence)
• correct timings for CMOS 6805s (1468[7]05, 68HC[78]05)
• incorrect timings for 6800, 68[7]01, 6802, 68[7]03, 6808, 68120
• FCS pseudo-op (like FCC, but sets the MSB of the last byte)
• SETDP pseudo-op for 6809 supported.
• SET pseudo-op (like EQU, but may redefine existing symbol)
• conditionals (IFxxx, ELSE, ENDIF)
  • IF <expr> true if expression not equal to 0
  • IFE <expr> true if expression equal to 0
  • IFDEF <name> true if name is defined
  • IFNDEF <name> true if name is undefined
  • IF1 true if pass 1
  • IF2 true if pass 2
• PRINT pseudo-op to output string to standard output during assembly.
• WARN, ERROR, FATAL pseudo-op for user defined warnings, errors, and fatal errors.
• MS-DOS lost cluster problem fixed
• symbols made case insensitive
• comments may begin with a semicolon
• comments alone on a line don't have to begin in column 1
• a period (".") may be used to refer to the location counter.
• new binary operators:
  • << shift left
  • >> shift right
  • ^ exclusive or
  • % modulo
• new unary operators:
  • ~ ones complement
• numeric constants may now be Motorola style or Intel style.
• character literals (introduced by "\" delimiter) must have closing delimiter ("\") if used other than at the end of an expression
