mmmh, will there be windoze binaries as well? still no linux here, bah
=(

Whatever, i am wondering if the filesupport is still missing in the
libraries... i am working on a real big project atm (music editor with
some never-seen-before features that is) and i would really like to
move the editor crap to C code, since all the pointer and variable shit
is driving me nuts in ASM. well, and obviously there is no sence in an
editor that can't save =)

however, i dont know what the current version of the compiler looks
like,
but the one i looked at (half a year ago or sth) handled inline assembly
in a quite annoying way (using the asm keyword that is). 

to make it straight... i WILL be able to implement the few missing file
routines, its not quite hard stuff anyway... BUT i cant be arsed to work
with this way of assembly. Also, for testing purposes, it sucks bigtime
to have different sourcefiles that have to be linked etc etc. 

So, good solution for that purpose would be having another compiler-
directive that switches assembly on/off like

#asm
	lda #$00
	sta $d020
#endasm

this should be both very easy to implement in the compiler (since it
just would copy the shit inside the directives to the generated asm
file) and it will be *very* handy for decent developing.

another thing is, that i was missing a 'dummy' implementation of
a library function in ASM, that is how to get the params passed to
the routine and how to pass them back. i suppose its like 1st 3 args
are passed in a,x,y and more args on stack... and same thing for
returning them, is that rite ?! Maybe its a good idea to supply a
short example that takes a few args, prints them or sth, and then
returns some other args.

ok, so far so good... just tell me what you think.
