Other Native Symbolic Assemblers

Hi everyone.

Before I ask my question, I must warn you that I don't want to be lectured on the benefits of cross development. I understand them fully. I also enjoy machine language programming and creating programs on my VIC.

Anyways...

I've been doing research into native assemblers that I could run on my VIC. I've found:

Develop-20 (tape version only)
LADS (very limited syntax and takes a good 9 minutes to assemble itself)
Assam (a port of the PAL assembler for the C64 with no source code)
Mikro Assembler
VASM (unfinished?)

I was wondering if there where any other symbolic assemblers for the VIC that I might not have stumbled upon yet.

just wondering - do those run on unexpanded vic20? it seems that a half decent assembler would easily fill that memory all by itself...

The only one that will run on the unexpanded VIC is Develop-20. Though, you could put Assam or Mikro Assembler on a cartridge if you wanted to and run them without expanded memory.

Is "Develop-20" the "French Silk Assembler" by any chance?

Yes. And in my opinion, it is a marvel of BASIC programming .
