I believe it is, just not sure where I heard it.
This would be a great find. I recall years ago reading that someone had
this but hadn't uploaded it anywhere. After that, I never found any
mention of this again. I would also like to find the source for it's
CDOS shell/OS version, curiosity mostly.
I'm sure that with work and determination, it could be reverse
engineered but with the mixed 6502 and internal byte code it would
certainly be a large task. I expect it would require several dedicated
individuals at least. Still, there is an exceptional amount of
documentation available including how the assemblers function and even a
simple optimizer.
Any ideas, interested parties?
One addition I would like to see would be a 128k version.
