C1 Assembler

Computer One Assembler is a fast single pass 68000 machine code assembler written in machine code for speed an compactness.

The assembler supports only a limited number of directives:

  • DC - Define Constant
  • DS - Define Storage
  • DBC - Define Constant Block
  • EQU - Equate
  • ALIGN - Align to word boundary
  • XREF - External Reference
  • XDEF - External Definition
  • IF…{ELSE]…ENDIF - Conditional Assembly.

Originally, the most notable exceptions were GET and INCLUDE commands to automatically add external files to the main file - although this can be overcome using the merge file facility in the editor. A linker was not originally included with the package, but had been added by May 1985, along with the INCLUDE command.

Advertised features included:

  • 68008 Assembler
  • Full syntax checking
  • Full-screen editor
  • Comprehensive user manual
  • Integrates to Pascal and SuperBASIC.
