What was the name of the Mac (68000) assembler?

Question

I'm sure there were several, but the one I was thinking of would display a nice text screen when you crashed the computer thoroughly.

The Text was "Well smoke me a kipper."

Wow nice find. So Lightsoft out of the UK was the developer and it looks like they are now gone unfortunately. – Dan Blair Nov 21 '11 at 15:58

No one else has answered this, so I'll answer the part I can: the original Macintosh debugger was MacsBug.

So far as the kipper quote goes, the only thing that comes to mind is the Pathogen computer virus.

There was also microbug (which lived on the ROM) for those who hadn't installed MacsBug. Very primitive indeed. – dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Sep 12 '09 at 02:04

"Smoke me a kipper. I'll be back for breakfast." is from [Red Dwarf](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dwarf). – TonyOssa Sep 17 '08 at 05:10

There was another 68000 Macintosh debugger called TMON. I don't remember the kipper quote being in it, but it's been a while.
