However... I think what you really are asking for is brand-new code, not more patches to DASM. At this point, it's patches layered upon patches, some written in different dialects of C... The correct thing to do would be to spec out our "dream assembler" and start a sourceforge project or such. I guess rule #1 of the new specs is going to be "must be able to assemble all existing DASM 6502 code", which is going to complicate the design... but then we won't have to support the other CPUs that DASM supports, if we don't want to... Of course, rule #2 is going to define what language the code will be written in, and I can't even make up my mind what I think the right answer is, so I dunno how we can get the whole community to agree... -- B.
