Has any of you looked at JWASM as an assembler?
It supports 16/32/64 bit instructions using Intel format, Microsoft Macro Assembler syntax, and it can output ELF, COFF, and flat object files.

Looking into it now.

I like the fact that it supports 64 bit mode (something I believe is incomplete on NASM) which would make a future port more easily doable. Do you have any personal experience with this assembler? Are there any significant things we'd have to change to accommodate it if we replace NASM with it?

Hi,
Prior to the m68k port, I thought it would have been a good alternate assembler because of the 64-bit support and the fact that it is reminiscent of MASM (Microsoft Macro Assembler). Since the project is going cross platform now, it's probably a moot point.
It appears Japheth did a lot of stuff before he went MIA for some reason. He's responsible for JWASM, JWLINK, HXDOS, and JEMM386.

I see. I wonder if there are any tools (other than the ubiquitous GCC) that support both x86 and 68K.

OpenWatcom perhaps?
