I don't know how you would go about getting the >source, but TLA might be in the public domain. Yes the UCSD Assem is 'universal'; it is very easy to adapt for any micro in the 6800/8080/6502 styles, prob pretty good for 8086/68000/etc. too, and possible (but takes longer) for more obscure structures such as microcode or signal processing systems. It is certainly not Public Domain - you have to pay Softech a licence fee - included in UCSD Pascal charge if you just want to use it yourself, but likely to get much more expensive if you want to sell it - even if a specially apapted version. Some time ago I tried to find out if the original Waterloo TLA was still about and if so if IT was public-domain, but could find nothing recent about it. But that was before the days of The Net - does anyone out there know?
