These languages provide con- trol over machine resources equal to that possible in traditional assembly languages. The group is currently implementing a family of languages, called al:0, for many of the possible microprocessors." I'm not directly connected with the research myself, but I know that the al:0 implementation for the 68000 is pretty much done. I think the next step is to implement for the 80** series. If I hear more, I'll post to the net (if anyone is interested, of course).
