Subject:	Z80 cross assembler

Scotto--
    What kind of changes is he talking about making?
    I don't know of any cross assemblers, but presumably one could go
beat up on the FSF gas program's code generation module somewhat.  A
place you might look for a start on code generation would be Jim
Hendrix's Small-C compiler.  In fact, Small-C rather than a
cross-assembled version might really be the way to go, unless they're
going to be making really time-critical changes.  Of course, even
then, Small-C supports an asm keyword for in-line assembly code.
    I haven't checked but I really rather doubt that gas supports Z80
at all, since it assumes a 32-bit platform.
    You could check the CP/M archives that CPMUG maintains(ed?---dunno
if they exist any more), also SimTel in tools, utilities, asm, there
may even be a cross-asm directory.
    Good luck!!
