[A89] Re: Newbie alert!

Here is a good comparison... i think they drifted in to some minor technical details towards the thread... ;)

OT:
how many people would be interested in a series of tutorials for beginning ASM programming (not C programming). It is something i've considered... my focus would probably be more on 'a68k' rather than the GNU 'as' assembler.

Nothing aside from where rom calls are located but a jump table points to
the addresses of the calls in each version.

nostub: Pros - self contained so no need for a library or shell (still need
a shell or patch for size limitations)
           Cons - can be bloated because everything is internal
shell/library requiring programs: Pros - external library makes for smaller
code, can fix bugs in library and not have to recompile your program
(doesn't much matter)
                                               Cons - end user needs to find
the library you used if you didn't or couldn't include it with your program

I prefer to do nostub but the choice is up to you.
