help with assemblers and documentation.

hi

i've recently gotten back into programming and in addition to the higher level stuff, i'm working on programming the 6502. so i've gotten applewin and believe it or not my library just gave me a copy of the assembly lines book,which is funny they must have read my mind, i did not ask for it at all, lol. i've been using the mini assembler so far. but what i need help with is a few things. where can i find a digital pdf/chm or anything copy of "Using 6502 assembly language: How anyone can program the Apple II" by randy hyde. i saw an older post and it just said copies were "floating" around without giving a link ..i've looked and couldnt' find a copy. and also what are some good assemblers to use? i've found "lisa" and "merlin" but ..........i could not find a manual. using an assembler without a manual is frustrating,since sometimes the commands are different. i just need someone to point me to some resources about apple // assembly, assemblers, some ebook resources, anything 6502 related. it would really help me out.

thanks

As far as assemblers go, I prefer S-C Assembler... there's versions for DOS and ProDOS and the docs are pretty decent.

thanks guys, i've been working with sc assembler and its just like basic and the commands are pretty easy to understand. i just have one question. i can creat the program in the assembler and run it . if i were to load the assembled program from a disk outside the assembler how would i run it?
