Link to my ACTION! cross compiler.

    The assembler is progressing.  I am currently working of the code for translating the instructions into machine code.  Boy, this is tedious.  An assembler is a lot easier than a compiler, but it is by far much more boring to write.

    Ok, so we don't need another assembler for the 6502.  The main reason for this project is that I need an assembler that I can modify to my hearts content for use with the Action! compiler I am trying to write.  As of yesterday, I am pretty much ready to start testing the code that is being generated by the compiler, so I need an assembler.

    I found documentation on line for the Atari execcutable load format, which is very simple, thank goodness, so this is the  format I will  use to produce executables.  This will also work nicely with the simulator I am using which will load Atari load formats.

    The assembler is going to be very simple.  I am not planning on any macros.  However, I amy eventually make it so that it will output linkable modules.  But, that is for much later.

The first vwersion has not been completed yet, but I do have the grammar written and ready to go.
  It is going to be a context free assembler.  Not sure how that is going to work.

Stay tuned for the first posting of the source code.
