I recall vividly when turnaround for the cross-assembler (remotely located) was typically close to 2 days. One of the projects I did was to write an assembler that built our code locally. And once the hardware existed, I ported the assembler to run on the target directly. Cut typical module assembly time to less than 5 minutes. 1973-1975 -- DaveA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
