.An Carsten S\(/orensen
.Pq a.k.a. SurfSmurf
releases xAsm, xLink, and RGBFix, a Game Boy SM83 (GBZ80) assembler/linker system for DOS/Win32.
.It
1999, Justin Lloyd (AKA Otaku no Zoku) adapts ASMotor to read and produce GBZ80
assembly/machine code, and releases this version as RGBDS.
1997-07-03: S\(/orensen releases ASMotor, packaging the three programs together and moving towards making them a general-purpose target-independent system.
