I'm after a 6502 assembler for my Apples, and am hoping for some
advice on the best one to choose.  Although I realise it may not
be possible for all my requirements to be met, here is what
would be ideal: 1. Comes on a single disk,
 2.  At least basic documentation is downloadable somewhere,
 3.  Can run on a 64K Apple II+ (though I have a 128K IIe and a
IIc as well)
 4.  Uses a relatively standard syntax - e.g. hopefully things
like LDA ($300),Y rather than LDAIY $300 etc
 5.  I'm sure they'll all support symbols, macros aren't so
important to me, but an include facility would be nice.


1) My first ever comp.sys.apple2 post, apologies if I say something stupid.

2) When I used to do assembler, I prefered the Big Mac assembler, which easily fits (IIRC) into 48KB.
(Of course this was a LONG time ago, pre //gs I think.)

A recent A.P.P.L.E. newsletter:

.... has news of Big Mac.

Big Mac is a version of Merlin 8.
