 ====== 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.
