It looks like Metrowerks lowered the price of their development tools it seems to be going for $1000-00....is that correct??

Thanks. Any idea where I can get a copy of the 3.0 draft? Search
for m8-16eabi on freescale.com turns up nothing, and Google finds
only the 2.0 version that I have.

Decoding is no big deal - if there is something to tell me what
format to use. At least in Cosmic's case the elf file's e_machine is
just plain HC12 (53.)

>BTW: How does GCC12 encode addresses?

Here is my code for DECODING 32-bit addresses in the elf generated by GCC12
// GCC address format
// 0-FFFF: 16-bit
// 10000 and above: subtract 0x10000 and interpret as Moto Linear
// banked address: 16K banks
UINT logicalAddress = (theAddress & 0x3FFF) | 0x8000;
UINT page = (theAddress - 0x10000) / 0x4000;

GCC12 also uses different numbers for registers:
"X", // 0
"D", // 1
"Y", // 2
"SP", // 3
"PC", // 4
"A", // 5
"B", // 6
"CC", // 7
"Y", // 8
"FP", // 9 GCC generates this as frame pointer
NULL, // 10 TMP soft register
NULL, // 11 Z soft register
NULL // 12 XY soft register

Versus eabi
"A", // 0
"B", // 1
"D", // 3
"X", // 7
"Y", // 8
"SP", // 15
"PC", // 16
"CC" // 17
