This probably won't help the original poster much, but there certainly
do exist compilers that generate assembly code. The Turbo C
COMMAND-LINE compiler (supplied with the integrated development environment)
will do this if you ask it to. I suspect that others
will as well. The generated code is a little inefficient, yes, but that's
only a problem if you are in a tight spot as far as efficiency is
concerned. It's not all that hard to follow. To the original poster:
keep looking! There are so many different programs available for 6502
computers that SOMEBODY must have written one. This may not be the best
newsgroup to ask for that sort of info. Is there a comp.sys.c64 or something?
