PALBART is a crossassembler for a DEC PDP-8. It is the basic PAL assembler plus a few enhancements by BART to run some signs.
It would primarily be of interest to users of SIMH and any other PDP8 emulators. The original source code is available at: http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/pdp8/index.html I've already made the package for i386 and all its files are available at : http://www.execpc.com/~vlm/index.html (that is not yet an apt-get accessible site) I'm now looking for sponsorship for this package, as I am not an Official Debian Developer. Its my second Debian package, its lintian clean and is a pretty simple package, single binary, no libraries, no SUID anything, just a plain ole assembler. Heres the license, from the source code, which I interpret as meeting DFSG (why people feel the need to (poorly) reinvent the GPL I don't know) /* This is free software. There is no fee for using it. You may make */ /* any changes that you wish and also give it away. If you can make */ /* a commercial product out of it, fine, but do not put any limits on */ /* the purchaser's right to do the same. If you improve it or fix any */ /* bugs, it would be nice if you told me and offered me a copy of the */ /* new version. */
