If you want a great assembler for the GS, get the LISA816.
This is a great assembler which can create programs for
any Apple II. Best of all, it's released as (c) freeware. If
you need some examples, get the Bunkerware disks too.
If I remember right, these can be found Dr. Tom's site. Sorry,
been offline for awhile and don't have the correct address.

Don't get me wrong, I think Mike Westerfield offers some
great products, I just think (FOR ME) the price is too steep.
If however, you want references for programming the IIgs, he's
the best game in town!
