Here is the next release of Luxasm for all (well,
anyone who is interested) to have a look at. Just
download via CVS or HTTP..
http://luxasm.sf.net/source/luxasm.all.latest.tar.bz2
cd to "luxasm/_nasm/source/" and run "make release"
to generate the current assembler (or "make debug"
to include the test code -- which slows things
down a bit.) You will need make and nasm (I use
version 0.98.34).

The parser and scanner are just about complete and
Luxasm is now processing data statements and equates
correctly (just got that working last night, so it
is not very throughly tested yet).

Beth: I notice you are working on a Linux syscalls
(int 0x80) list -- the file "luxasm/library/_linux.lxl"
may be of help there.

Frank: The Motif examples are compiling on my system.
(Though this could be due to further updates made
on the macro library.) Is everything ok at your
end now?

Randy: Do you have any more benchmark generation
programmes? The scanner benchmark has been quite
useful (there is a copy in "luxasm/test/b_scan.hla")
-- I would also like to know how Luxasm performs
against the other assemblers on your system, so if
you have five minutes a comparason would be nice.
(I remember you mentioning Donkey was writing some
too, any idea of where to get these?)

My system (an early Pentium 120MHz) generates:

[cc]-[aphrodite:/~/working/luxasm/_nasm/source]-[01:26]
time ./luxasm -i ../../test/LuxBM.lux
