Hey, give the guy a break!

I think that this guy is doing just whan I did with my first robot:
1) looking up the opcodes for the instructions I want
2) writing them down with blanks in the address fields
3) computing the addresses and filling them in
4) entering the hex into the CPU.

So an "Assembly compiler" makes perfect sense to me.
(You knew what he meant anyway)

And to answer his question, what you want is an Assembler. It turns
assembly mnemonics (LDAA #$FF) into the hex that gets loaded into
the CPUs memory.

Go to cher.media.mit.edu and look around in /pub/miniboard
(Use ftp and log in as the user ftp and use your Email address as password)

You will find two assemblers as11 and icc11 (Or something like that)
It's just what you want to avoid that tedious hand assembly.
But if you are indeed doing hand assembly I salute you. Good job.
And you've got a job just waiting for you when you tell them that you
did this. (As opposed to the non-answer who spit on you)

Give me a call(612-683-5499) in July when I return. I'd like to hear
what you are up to.

(I got married and I'll be in Rome and England until July 6) 
(Eat your heart out)
