No, not really. Assembling my SA-sources (which are quite large) only takes
about 30 seconds on my 7MHz MSX. And I can immediately try it out (I can't
when working on PC... ok, I can use an emulator...).

Since I have no PC next to my MSX...
And by the way, Gen80 and Compass also support macros.

Ok, you can't do that in Compass. But you can make i.e. Vdp 9 as a
Compass/Gen80 macro...
>Or something as set_palette(pointer) etc., etc..
These are just macros in another form (C-like), but again, the same can be
done in Compass or Gen80: set_palette pointer...

Hey Hey, I have one! Yes, a real TI-83 (although I never heard of this
assembler before). I need a program to recieve/send files from/to my MSX
from my calculator. Then I can program for it... Hmmm, I don't really feel
like writing it myself, but if I must... Can you provide me with information
about the protocol of a serial link, parallel link and a Graphlink??? Also,
I need some info about the .83g and .83p fileformat, but I think I can find
that myself.

to Chaos Assembler if there is enough

Well it can't harm to have this program, but I at least won't use it. There
are already some cross-assemblers like TASM and another 2 MSX-specific
assemblers (of which I forgot the names, one was of MSX-Engine, I believe).
I don't know if it's worth the effort.

Ok, I'll check it out.
