Sounds good. I don't have a copy here, and unfortunately I can't see it over 
on the BBC Lives! website - might well be pestering you for a copy at some 
point (I'll see what others say about alternatives first!)

Did Acorn ever do their own 6502 assembler? I don't believe I've seen one - 
yet they did for the Z80 and 32016, so that seems surprising.

My other option would be to compile on the PC, spit data across to the beeb 
via xfer, and run there I suppose. Can't decide if that's any easier or not!

cheers
