I have made a few enhancements to John's s3c8asm.
s3c8asm_7.zip

New features (v7.4):

• Conditional assembly
• Relational operators
• Non-redefinable assignment directive
• Echo
• -D/-U command line symbol definition options
• Non-zero exit code with unsuccessful assembly
• File name and line number printed in the error message

These features help developers of the extenders and the special protocols create a combined single source file that supports multiple remote types, EEPROM sizes, etc. easily.

Also useful for adding assemble time checks and print warning messages when generated code exceeds specific size or falls into a specific memory location that you want to avoid. (e.g. To make sure the extender code fragment fits in the old advanced code area, to avoid non-expendable part of the extender code falling into the area that may be overwritten during the ROM calls, to get around the setup code/other EEPROM config location in some big EEPROM extenders.)

I've added a few more things...

• -D/-U command line symbol definition options
• Non-zero exit code with unsuccessful assembly

Fixed a bug - some directives such as org, etc. were incorrectly assembled in the false conditions.

Source files can easily become bigger and similar lines would appear in multiple places more often with ifdef's, etc. Line number in the error message would be helpful...
