[...] unfortunately, both have not quite standard syntax.


Define "standard syntax".

Some assemblers defines standard as the being similar to (and using same mnemonics) as the original chip manufacturer used in the original chip documentation.

Some other assemblers defines standard as in using a unified syntax for all supported architectures.

gas is an assembler that has standardized on uniformity, so an Motorola programmer will recognize the mnemonics when programming an Intel chip (while an Intel programmer will probably hate gas something fiercely).

You are right on about the assembler and utilities. I finally built a IDE using VB6 to wrap around the monster and are having success with it now.

What a GAS,
Joe
