RMON166 - The READS166 monitor program

RMON 166 is downloaded after bootstrapping (or it may be placed into ROM) and supports basic
memory and port functions. RMON166 allows downloading and running applications programs.
The complete source code for user modifications or upgrades is included on disk.

Ra66 - The READS166 Assembler

Ra66 is an assembler for the C166 family of controllers. It is a multi-pass absolute assembler
which generates HEX code directly from assembly source code. The assembler in the demo
version of READS166 limits the size of code to about 2K.

Rc66 - The READS166 C Compiler

Rc66 is a C Compiler for the C166 family of processors. It compiles code for the tiny memory
model which fully resides in the first segment of memory. Rc66 is a designed as a low-cost C
compiler which provides a quick development cycle for simpler applications which do not need
more than 64K of code, or the use of standard C libraries. Rc66 implements a subset of ANSI C.
Rc66 works in conjunction with Ra66: first an assembly language program is generated from the
C source, then a HEX file is generated.

Currently, structures, unions, enumerated types, and the typedef directive are not implemented.
The C-compiler in the demo version of READS166 limits the size of code to about 8K.
