Option '-x6' is useful for debugging because it forces the use of the easily patchable 'mov #0,x' instead of the quicker 'clr x'. Unfortunately, option '-x6' ALSO forces the default output suffix to be '.a68' instead of '.s'. So if you expect the '.a68' or '.s' extension, beware of changing '-x6' for debugging/speedup purposes. Note: Apparently(?), '-x29' overrides some of this, forcing the extension to be '.asm'. If so, then '-x6' would again be available for purely debugging/code-compacting purposes. G R
