I seem to remember it as being extremely poor. The documentation, or the syntax? I definitely vote for the syntax as being poor, because it neither agrees with the syntax described as "assembler syntax" in the "M68000 16/32-bit Microprocessor Programmer's Reference Manual" nor that used by the PDP-11 and VAX. Was there any good reason for MIT to invent that weird syntax? (The assembler isn't that hot either; slow and buggy.) Guy Harris
