Who can help out? Assembly language programmers can develop .asm libraries and wizards which will be at the core of Visual Assembler, C/C++ programmers can help out with the IDE development. Currently ideas are being sought for implementing future cross-platform features; programmers with experience using assembly language in non-Intel or in Unix/X-Windows environments are encouraged to submit notes on their experience. Testers, etc will also be needed. Contact mammon_@hotmail.com to help out.

Are the developers paid? No. Everyone involved in this project is dedicated to producing this application so that they may eventually use it; this not only provides more motivation than simple financial gain, it also inspires the need for a quality product. Visual Assembler is being designed to do everything that its developers think they will need it to do.

Is this for sale? No. This will be a free development environment. Some of the tools/compilers will have to be found by the end user, of course. The final version will have completely free tools and will be compliant with NASM, the free NetWide Assembler, as well as TASM and MASM.

Why C++ Builder? 1) Time, 2) Ease of use, 3) Time. Anyone wishing to re-code Visual Assembler in C or ASM is welcome to join the team.

Why are some features disabled/buggy? Relax, it is still in Alpha.

Why is Visual Assembler missing some good features? No-one has thought of them yet: please contribute your suggestions.

When is this going to be finished? Visual Assembler is being deleveloped on no particular schedule save for the need of the developers to see it actually do something useful. Work is progressing quickly--much more quickly than could have been thought possible--and a beta should be officially released during this summer.
