AS68K Unleash 2.0

(1 / 1)


	I have just placed an updated copy of AS68K on
Charm and Kim.  There should be no problems with it,  but
if there are,  let me know and meanwhile re-define as68k
to run old_as68k,  which is what I will re-name the old
version.

	One fairly minor feature has been added.  You can
now specify a directory on the filename,  for example:
"as68k [.progs]fred".  The .ol file will end up in the
same directory the source came from.  This is consistent
with the way the old as68k worked if you specified a
"logical device" on the input filespec and left out the
output filespec.  I am open to suggestion on other ways
to handle this,  but will stay "compatible" for now. 

	The new version also correctly reports its exit
status, so your make should terminate if it blows up.

	The only other difference should be about a 20
to 25% speed increase.  Since about a second seems to be
the minimum time (for a 1 line file),  you won't see a
speedup unless you have files that take five or more
seconds now. 

  If I get no complaints by August 15th,  I will delete
the old version.
