Hi

I've been interested in obtaining a cross asembler that would work on the 
Archimedes/RiscPc that would cope with a number of of CPUs, including the 
6502.

I recently came across, what I thought would fit my needs exactly, in the 
form of an application called Cross 32.

It was reviewed by Dave Lawrence in the Septtember 1991 edition of BBC Acorn 
User.

The application was originally available from Ian Copestake Software but I 
haven't found any information of from where it can be obtained of if it 
indeed was ever sold commercially.

The only information I found that the application was developed by Baildon 
Electronics, based in Saltaire, Shipley, West Yorkshire.

If anyone has any knowledge of this I would be extremely interested in 
knowing about it.


Regards

Steve
