That doesn't make them alike; knowing C doesn't mean you know 68k asm, or
any other asm for that matter.

How is that possible? It would be useless and impractical to convert the C
to anything but machine language. Maybe you mean that the C is tokenized
into some kind of 68k tokens, which isn't even very likely ... it probably
goes straight to opcodes.
