First round then, maybe -- trust me, there were a bunch well before then ;)

Next I found the source for a 68K monitor program,
call VuBug. As I
recall the 68K assembler was in the BTI dialect of FORTRAN. I believe
it was a version of RM Fortran (Ryan McFarland).
That would probably be right. Aside from the Dragon complier and the
assembler I think pretty much everything in the timeframe in question
was purchased from RM.
