+## [1.3] - 1998-03-18
+- Added intrinsic transcendental functions for constant literal

+- Added warnings for control register load/use hazards
+- More sophisticated constant expression evaluation including 
+  implicit float/integer conversion.  Results of expressions are 
+  typed and so formatted in the listing and symbol table.
+- Various fixes including stray pointers, etc. (Thanks to Dirk Farin

+- Added DS and DSM directives
+- Generalization of the use of "*" allowing current program counter 
+  to be used in any expression (including "org l:*" which is useful 
+  for changing spaces without changing the PC)
+- Noted a bug with MOVEP to a non-symbolic I/O address.  I believe 
+  this is now fixed.
+- Noted that mispelled argumentless operators will be treated as 
+  labels.  For example, N0P (N-zero-P) will be treated as a label. 
+  Unfortunately, my own use of a56 (i.e. using cpp as the macro 
+  pre-processor) complicates this.  However, the grammar might have 
+  been simpler if the lexical analyzer was able to distinguish

+a56 - a DSP5600X assembler
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+OVERVIEW
+This program was written as a vehicle to learn the intricacies
+of the DSP56001 instruction set, and to provide a tool for Unix-based
+DSP code development (for those of us without a NeXT machine.)
+
+The intent was to provide compatibility with Motorola assembler's 
+syntax. But since the author did not have Motorola's assembler or its 
+documentation, it is no doubt far from compatible. Only a few 
+pseudo-ops are implemented-- probably only partially.
+
+Macros are not supported, except through the use of an external macro 
+preprocessor, such as /lib/cpp. To facilitate cpp macro expansion, 
+multiple assembler statements on a single input line are delimited 
+with an '@', e.g.:
+
+	#define JCHEQ(c,label)	move #c,x0 @cmp x0,a @jeq label
+
+	#define JCHNE(c,label)	move #c,x0 @cmp x0,a @jne label
+
+SUPPORTED PSEUDO-OPS
+The following is a list of the pseudo-ops that are recognized:
+
+	<symbol> = <expression>			;assign a symbol
+	<label> EQU <expression>		;ditto
+
+	ALIGN <number>				;set location pointer
+						;to next integral
+						;multiple of <number>
+
+	ORG <space:> <expression>		;new location pointer
+	ORG <space:> <expression>, <space:> <expression>
+
+	DC <dc_list>				;declare constants
+
+	DS <number>				;reserve <number>
+						;words of space
+
+	<label> DSM <number>			;reserve space for
+						;properly aligned
+						;modulo-addressed
+						;buffer of size
+						;<number>, assigning
+						;the aligned starting
+						;address to <label>
+
+	PAGE <number>, <number>, <number>, <number>
+						;ignored
+
+	INCLUDE <file>				;file inclusion
+
+	END					;end
+
+In addition, a "PSECT" pseudo-op was implemented. It allows program 
+sections to be defined and bopped in and out of, each with its own 
+location counter and space. The Motorola assembler probably does not 
+have this pseudo-op, but no doubt supports the concept in some way.
+
+	PSECT <name> <space:><begin_addr>:<end_addr>
+						;define
+
+	PSECT <name>				;switch to psect <name>
+
+FUTURE DIRECTION
+The assembler probably generates bogus code here and there, and no doubt
+does not handle all of the syntax.  I welcome all comments, fixes and 
+enhancements.
+
+TO MAKE AND USE
+
+Type "make".
+
+The resulting program, a56, is used as follows:
+
+        a56 [-b] [-l] [-o output-file] file [...]
+
+An assembler listing is sent to the standard-output and an 
+ascii-formatted object file (a56.out) is produced. The "-b" option 
+adds binary to the listing. "-l" causes included files to be listed. 
+"-o" directs the output to the specified file rather than the 
+default, a56.out.
+
+A separate program, toomf, converts a56.out into "OMF" format 
+suitable for downloading to the 56001 via the sloader.a56 program.
+
+        toomf < a56.out > file.omf
+
+Known bugs/deficiencies:
+- MOVE to a control reg generates bogus code (always use MOVEC,
+  MOVEM, and MOVEP)
+
+Wish list
+- Add support for new instructions and modes

-V1.1 CHANGES
-
-Many thanks to Tom Cunningham at Motorola who noted several bugs, fixing
-most of them.  Thanks also to Stephen Edwards at CalTech for his fixes as well.
-Both he and Tom fixed up the XY parallel move code;  I believe all the
-fixes are integrated.
-
-Summary of changes since v1.0:
-
-	- Jcc, JScc, Tcc recognizes "CC" synonym for "HS" (Tom)
-	- LUA syntax fixed (Tom, Stephen)
-	- DIV syntax fixed (Tom)
-	- XY move fixed (Tom, Stephen)
-	- a56 now detects phase errors (changes in symbol values
-	  between pass 1 and 2)
-	- several causes of phase errors fixed
-	- immediate value handling improved for both integer and
-	  fixed-point values
-	- symbols have type (INT or FLOAT)
-	- cpp droppings are properly handled
-	- ALIGN pseudo-op added
-
-Known bugs/deficiencies:
-
-	- MOVE to a control reg generates bogus code (always use MOVEC,
-	  MOVEM, and MOVEP)
-
-The example code has been cleaned up a bit and I've included my
-56K board's envelope code - tdsg.basic.a56.  This code is specific to
-my implimentation.
-
-A note on the reverb code - I have since found since posting version 1.0
-that the reverb code has a great-big almost-DC bumb in its impulse
-response.  I found this after doing some simulations.  I suspected something
-was wrong because I had to scale the output of the comb filters by .046
-or something before going into the two all-pass stages.  Overall I think it
-works better without the 1.7 ms all-pass.  There's another reverb example 
-on Dr. Bubb that fits Moorer's 1979 model better.  I've included this in 
-the examples but I have not yet assembled or tried it.

-
-The example code this time around includes a full six-comb stereo reverb
-(based on Moorer).  This one sounds a lot better than the four-comb algorithm.
-Each comb uses a one-pole low-pass filter in the loop.  It lacks the
-early-reflection FIR (although Motorola's rvb2.asm has it) but has
-true stereo decorrelation by using a twin allpass stage.  My old reverb
-just used inversion to simulate stereo (the whole reverb effect would
-disappear if you mixed the outputs).  I've included only actual reverb
-code itself.  It lacks the hardware-implementation-specific shell.

-        <symbol> = <expression>                         ;assign a symbol
-        <label> EQU <expression>                        ;ditto
-
-        ALIGN <number>                                  ;set location pointer
-                                                        ;to next integral
-                                                        ;multiple of <number>
-
-        ORG <space:> <expression>                       ;new location pointer
-        ORG <space:> <expression>, <space:> <expression>
-
-        DC <dc_list>                                    ;declare constants
-
-        DS <number>                                     ;reserve <number>
-                                                        ;words of space
-
-        <label> DSM <number>                            ;reserve space for
-                                                        ;properly aligned
-                                                        ;modulo-addressed
-                                                        ;buffer of size
-                                                        ;<number>, assigning
-                                                        ;the aligned starting
-                                                        ;address to <label>
-
-        PAGE <number>, <number>, <number>, <number>     ;ignored
-
-        INCLUDE <file>                                  ;file inclusion

-In addition, a "PSECT" pseudo-op was implemented.  It allows program sections
-to be defined and bopped in and out of, each with its own location counter and
-space.  The Motorola assembler probably does not have this pseudo-op, but no
-doubt supports the concept in some way.
-
-        PSECT <name> <space:><begin_addr>:<end_addr>    ;define
-
-        PSECT <name>                                    ;switch to psect <name>

-FUTURE DIRECTION
-
-The assembler probably generates bogus code here and there, and no doubt
-does not handle all of the syntax.  I welcome all comments, fixes and 
-enhancements.
-
-TO MAKE AND USE
-
-Type "make".
-
-The resulting program, a56, is used as follows:
-
-        a56 [-b] [-l] [-o output-file] file [...]
-
-An assembler listing is sent to the standard-output and an ascii-formatted
-object file (a56.out) is produced.  The "-b" option adds binary to the listing.
-"-l" causes included files to be listed.  "-o" directs the output to the
-specified file rather than the default, a56.out.
-
-A separate program, toomf, converts a56.out into "OMF" format suitable for 
-downloading to the 56001 via the sloader.a56 program.
-
-        toomf < a56.out > file.omf
