I would like a recommendation for a good 68020 macro assembler for an
Apollo workstation.  Some of the requirements are:

- structure definition capability

- limited data type checking (warning messages on moving a word
  into a byte location, etc.)

- command line/source code conditional assembly capability

I am familiar with the Microsoft MASM 5.1 for MS-DOS and feel it is a very
powerful assembler.  Many of the features in MASM would be great to have.

I would also appreciate other suggestions/requirements to consider in looking
for a good assembler.
