Tandem  Release 1  Versnio 2.68   April 2000

Tandem is an integrated Editor/Assembler/Debugger for the Amiga computer. It
has a revolutionary BASIC-type user interface, which makes assembly language
programs nearly as easy to debug as interpreting languages.

All the debugging commands refer to all the labels in source code, and
you can also issue "immediate mode" commands in assembly language.

All the Amiga OS3.1 includes and FD's are pre-assembled in Tandem, so you
need never make INCLUDE's to header .i files, or XREF's to _LVO offsets -
all are pre-assembled and instantly available.

Tandem assembles much faster than other common assemblers, according to
benchmarks I have done. Tandem does all 68030, 68882(FPU) & MMU, and
all types of conditional & MACRO features.

Freeware
--------
Tandem is freeware, provided it is not included in a commercial product.

Full Docs
---------
Tandem comes with a very extensive & complete AmigaGuide.

Learn Assembly Language
-----------------------
Tandem comes with a hands-on tutorial in its AmigaGuide, which you can use
to learn how to write assembly language.

Optional Supplement - the tandem.library GUI
--------------------------------------------
Tandem comes with tandem.library, a complete & very easy to program GUI
with copious sample programs, which you can use if you want to. The full
source code of tandem.library is supplied.

Support
-------
I would welcome email correspondence about Tandem.  shillito@tpg.com.au

This Release
------------
Only 1 bug was reported from the pre-release, which caused Tandem to
refuse to assemble in rare instances on some types of Amiga. Now fixed.

Improvements:

* Tandem now opens on the default public screen (but can set Prefs to
  open on a private screen)
* TAB key now operates correctly
* Windows remember where they were, & their size, next time Tandem opens.
* Some new options in the tandem.library optional supplement.
* The TLDemo program has been re-written.
