Better is subjective, of course, what some like others don't. Find the
tool that works for you, but if you're paying for it that makes it
difficult to analyse the offerings without some kind of free trial.
Craig seemed to be an experienced guy looking for a few pointers I think
that absolute code answers. There is quite a bit of assembler posted on
this group and I'm usually happy to send examples of my code if I'm
asked for a specific solution. Not that I'm claiming anything other than
it works for what I want!

I have to agree with David here... By all means, use IAR, as it's
assembler is "better" than the one is CCS (uses a more traditional
syntax). But if you have problems with the debugger, don't assume
that it's the chips fault, or TI's fault... because the debugger
in CCS works MUCH better. And the IDE is better. And the assembler
works... you just have to translate everything.
