Introduction
GALasm was created simply because there were no other open source GAL assemblers. The assembler core is basically the one of GALer, a GAL development environment for the Amiga platform. I was unable to get in touch with his author to get the permission to do the port, so if he complains i'll have to stop the development.
Copyright
GALasm is Copyright (c) 1998-2003 by Alessandro Zummo but any bug and any piece of code taken from the original GALer sources is still Copyright (c) 1991-96 by Christian Habermann.
Disclaimer
The authors can not be made responsible for any damage caused by a fault of GALasm. In other words: use it at your own risk. Even if i've ported it, i've not fully understood every aspect of the assembler core.
Sources
The sources are written in ANSI-C, so it should be possible to compile them on any platform. The sources have been successfully compiled with SAS/C on the Amiga platform and with gcc on Debian GNU/Linux.
About GALs
Some kind of GALs are not reprogrammable and some others, especially the one i belong to, are even not programmable at all... ok, just kidding. The original GALer documentation is a very well written, so if you want to know how to write down a GAL equation, run your favorite browser and load galer/main.html. All the non-Amiga related sections are still valid for GALasm.
