Message-ID: <433@cod.UUCP> Date: Wed, 17-Dec-86 16:48:00 EST Article-I.D.: cod.433 Posted: Wed Dec 17 16:48:00 1986 Date-Received: Thu, 18-Dec-86 22:39:10 EST Organization: Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego Lines: 10 Keywords: IIGS, 65C816, assembly language, 8/16 bit modes A friend of mine who is an assembly language enthusiast tells me that 65C816 assembly language is rather more difficult than 65C02 assembly language due to the necessity of switching back and forth between 8 and 16 bit modes. His explanation was rather sketchy and preliminary, so I did not get a lot of detail. It had to do with the size of registers, I believe. I would appreciate any information regarding 65C816 assembly language difficulties on the Apple IIGS. If there are such difficulties, I wonder what that will mean for development of IIGS specific software.
