Stumbled across something seemingly useful for 68K assembler
developers, not sure if it’s been mentioned before but here goes.
It’s something called Easy68K, an editor, assembler and simulator for
the 68000 (integrated development environment), running on Windows.
(OK Norman, I know...)
The website description is:
“EASy68K is a 68000 Structured Assembly Language IDE. EASy68K
allows you to edit, assemble and run 68000 programs on a Windows PC or
Wine. No additional hardware is required. EASy68K is an open source
project distributed under the GNU general public use license.”

I played with that years and years ago. I note that it was last updated
in 2012, so that's good news. I also note that the source code is
available - so it should/could/might be possible to compile it to run
natively under Linux or Mac, if it will work under wxWidgets or Qt. (And
no, I don't have time, thanks!)
Windows isn't all bad you know Dilwyn, I quite like Windows 7 to be
honest.
Ditto - and I really really really hate saying that.
I use Windows partly to run my Archive-born business programs and
qemulator. I *must* though try SMSQEmulator under OS X.
What I like about W7 (Windows 2008 Server run under VMware on my Mac):
- Doesn't crash
- Fast
- Auto updates file windows - no need for F5
- Automagically finds printers (including network printers) and
successfully installs them without driver CDs.
They are copying what Mac OS X has *always* done (8-)#
What I don't like:
- No support for 16 bit programs. Dosbox works but only has a command
sub-set.
However, given the review I just read of Windows 8, I doubt that
I'll be using that release any time soon!
Indeed. No point at all. It sounds like a Vista to me.
Point to note for anyone who might misunderstand, this system simulates
a 680xx CPU but it doesn't mean that you can run SMSQ on it and expect
to have a QL Simulator.
He he - is that a dig at names?
I must say SMSQEmulator is a difficult name to say. Can you imagine
anyone not being QL born and bred who could manage to say it first time?
