HLA v1.91 is now available on Webster.
This is a quick maintenance release that fixes a few problems with
pathnames to object code files. It also cleans up some cross-platform
issues related to directory path separator characters. There is a new
"hlalink" environment variable that lets you set the default linker
to
use (under Windows, under Linux it's always 'ld'). I've also modified
the syntax of array constants to allow a trailing comma as
syntactical
cruft in order to make it cleaner to generate large array constants
using the HLA compile-time language.

The new version can be found at

HLA, the High-Level Assembler, is a powerful macro
assembly language development system that runs under
Windows and Linux operating systems. Carefully-written
applications are portable between both operating systems
with nothing more than a recompile of the source file.

HLA was specifically designed to make learning and writing
assembly language as easy as possible. HLA is fully supported
by tons of documentation, example code, and other things
that beginning and advanced programmers will find useful.
The 32-bit edition of "The Art of Assembly Language"
(No Starch Press) teaches introductory assembly language
programming using HLA and is one of the most often-cited
textbooks on the subject. You can read "The Art of Assembly"
on-line at http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/­­index.html.

The HLA system also includes the HLA Standard Library,
a collection of hundreds of ready to use library routines that
simplify assembly language programming and provide (among
other things) a usable interface to the underlying operating system.
Full source code to the Standard Library is available.
